A country boy can survive

[booger]

Well tonight me and my sons got to talking about my youth and how i was brought up hunting and how I am now showing them the ropes when it comes to taking from the land and using what you take. and I had to play this little diddy for them

It's a way of life that has fallen to the wayside, that's for sure.

God bless you (and others) for keeping it alive.

Thanks for passing it along to your kids. I have two sons, and tried to get them both into hunting, along with my grandson years later, and they are just city boys. My parents nor grandparents hunted, so I guess it started, and will end with me. Sad.
I do get to help the landowner I hunt on take kids and a parent for a youth gun hunt, so its going to somebody.

That amount of know how can't end with you dennishoddy! Here is the deal, adopt my boy, but I have to tag along to make sure everything is on the up and up.

Keep those traditions alive and keep that Beechnut handy... just in case.

growing up i was pretty much an in town kid (small town), my dad would head out hunting with his buddies and always tell me next time. holidays and other family trips we would go up to Kansas to go see my grandpa, i would also get to spend summers with him (after begging) out on his farm. he would take me out and show me the ropes; camping out, fishing and hunting. since i have became old enough and on my feet, me and the wife bought a house with a good little 6acre lot on the outside of town, and i have been fortunate enought to have friends let me hunt off thier land. i have a son that is 7yrs old and i have never told him next time.....THANKS GRANDPA DALE!!! LOVE YA AND WE MISS YA!!!!!!

I'm from the same type of small town and was also lucky enough to have a grandpa that would teach me all the good stuff to know. Wish i would've got at least one more chance to hunt with him before he died. At least i have the memories. my dad pretty much gave up hunting when my grandpa got sick and i havent gone since i joined the military. need to make more time for that.
