[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1348793, member: 5151"] I just got started this year. I had never been hunting because of my mom's fear of guns due to one of my dad's uncles blowing one hand and most of his fingers on the other off with a shotgun. There were always guns in the house, but I think I only saw my dad get them out every now and then when a pesky critter couldn't be shooed off any other way. Last year, we were talking about guns and he expressed interest in looking for a deer gun to hunt with once he decides to retire. I never really spent much time with my dad growing up; I was always partial to making things work my way on the computer. I think he's only gone hunting a couple of times since they got married 35 years ago. So I decided this year I'd take the hunter safety class and go hunting with him. It's great being out away from everything else and getting to spend some father-son time together! We did a little dove hunting and got four dove pretty close to the beginning of the season. Then the drought came and the pond we had permission at dried up, so we had to wait for the rains to fill it back up. By that time, though, the dove had moved on. Even though neither of us fired a shot that day, we had a great time. Now we're looking for turkey on another friend's land. I've almost though about seeing if my wife wanted to come along simply because its the kind of land she likes. Even less than a 1/4 mile from the road, it feels like you're in a whole 'nother world. I really don't care if we get a turkey or not. I'm having a great time with my dad, and that's all that really matters. Of course, the rule my wife has is "if you kill it, you gotta eat it", and that's perfectly fine with me. (Hopefully, though, I can introduce her to turkey that isn't barcoded this Thanksgiving!) We won't be doing any deer this year, but we might next year. Part of that is because it will likely be really cold by that time, and I won't have gotten back into decent enough shape to keep my asthma under control. [/QUOTE]
