Well, it can be traced to Jerry Simmons and my grandfather (if you bow hunt in the south, and don't know who Jerry is, shame on you). They lived near each other, and hunted together many moons ago. My father learned from my grandfather, and myself and my brother came along.
It's just what we did, and still do. I've heard countless stories from my grandfather about his hunts, and his friends - including a good many stories about Jerry. I could bore you to death with them - and I'm sure a few of the stories have grown into more fiction than truth - but I could listen to them all day growing up.
