My dad never hunted and didn't know the first thing about it. Lucky for me a family friend who didn't have any kids had land and patience. He picked me up at school every Friday and took me to his farm where we did everything from tractor work, cows, hunting and fishing. Widowmaker10 came along several years after me and was lucky enough to have this same mentor in life and the woods. He's become like a little brother to me even though he graduated from AU with a degree in Forestry but still pulls for Bama . I became who I wanted to be in life because of someone who had no obligation at all but he did it anyway.

I guess my dad, but everyone in our family hunted - it was expected. Whatever we killed, was pretty much what we ate - with the exception of the hogs and chickens that my grandparents raised. For as far back as I can remember - we probably ate deer or some type of game 5-6 times a week for dinner. My dad says that when I (being me) was young, "We were so poor that we were "po" - we couldn't afford the "o r" to make us poor.
My mom would make a big pot of pinto beans on Sunday and we'd eat them everyday that week till they were gone.
A typical dinner: Fried deer meat (tenderized with a mallet) Mashed potatoes and gravy Pinto beans Biscuits or cornbread
Often, Bisquick squirrel dumplings Pinto beans
Sometimes, Fried chicken or porkchops Mashed potatoes Pinto beans Biscuits or cornbread
Ironically, my favorite meal is: Fried deer cube steak Mashed potatoes and gravy Pinto beans Cornbread

My best friend who is no longer with us. I think about him everyday but feel his presence the most when I'm deer hunting. My daddy and granddaddy were saltwater fisherman and not hunters at all.

Me. Started with my red rider. Watched fishing and hunting shows. My dad worked too much to hunt and both my grandpas were dead. We had 7 acres but it was a funnel for deer. I got a sks when I was 14 and would go stand on the hollow after school in my blue jeans and tee shirt. Killed my first deer back there. Was a doe out of doe season. I was so pumped I didn't care. That got me hooked.

And I knew so little about it after I shot it I took off running after it.

I have always been fascinated with the outdoors and pretty much taught myself through trial and error. We had a large farm in Ga and used to sit on a hillside and watch deer every evening studying their body language. Then after I turned 12 my step dad handed me a 30-30 and said about time you start hunting ....I haven't stopped yet and still love to watch em.
Let them walk ...and grow them big
