I was my Dad’s occasional squirrel retriever as a little 3-4-5 year old until we moved from the farm in TN. I remember stomping around the woods and enjoying it. Took a several-year break and spent my adolescence and teen years obsessed with fishing. Just never really got the hunting itch. At about 18-19 years old, it just clicked and I’ve been just as obsessed with deer and deer hunting ever since (I’m 34 now) as I ever was about fishing. I take my oldest boy turkey hunting in the spring but only bc enjoys it. I don’t get tore up about birds like I do deer.
