He is truly talented and I want to do everything I can to make him be the best he can be at anything in life. He 100% understands that practice put into anything makes you better. In 2 seasons , he will have more than 100 goals. Where will he be in 5 years if he stays on this trajectory??

So back to hunting, every hunt he learns something. A lesson on a animal or plant, how to walk, gun safety, and just us 2 hanging out with no distractions and 100% focus on each other.


And a question for the OP, how old were you when you harvested you first animal. How many years did you go before being being the shooter.










I was 7-8 years old when I started to tote a real gun hunting, squirrel and rabbit mainly. Dad had beagles growing up. I was 12 when I killed my first deer, I was by myself and dad was 100 yards or so down the holler. But I hunted on the farm by myself when I was 10 or 11. Just walk off behind the house and sit a while, always had a dog with me usually. But I was taught saftey mainly as well what sign to look for and so forth. I guess I touched a nerve with some folks, that wasn’t my intention just was making a observation mainly. My last few sentences seems to gotten skipped over I think. 😁😁

A friend, the Bible and a banker will get you though about anything.
