I'm 65 and been going since I was 7. When Dog Deer hunting faded away I started back to Squirrel hunting all the way up to January....then I'll go Deer hunting. I learned patience and how to shoot a rifle squirrel hunting. Didn't own a Deer Rifle until I was 20 because all my Deer Hunting was on drives with a Shotgun/buckshot. I take the squirrels boil/pick them and make Brunswick Stew. I've gone with treeing dogs many times.....but these days just still hunt. Kids want action and shooting and killing when they are young.....that just sitting and waiting on a Deer loses there attention quick!!
