[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1266970, member: 5412"] Its been awhile back, but my imedate family did not hunt, nor did they own guns. My Grandpa had a couple he inherited that he gave me when I was 16. I was and am still into reading books. Was inthralled with mountain man books like Jim Bridger and the "call of the wild. The more intense and extreme the writers wrote about, the more I wanted to be like them. When 12 or so, my uncle bought a quarter section of land with 90 acres of trees and bottom ground. There was a small artisian well that bubbled naturally. My folks let me camp out there alone, for weeks at a time in the summers. Built a cedar lined lean to next to the well, and life was good. Shooting squirrels and catching fish from the pond. Little did I know my uncle was sneaking into my camp at night, and replenishing my supplies. I know this sounds impossible to y'all that are younger, but things were different in those days. You could trust people, and those people trusted you. Later on with my kids, I can't imagine letting them do that. they were into video game crap and so on. City boys to this day. [/QUOTE]
