[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 1865581, member: 14646"] I was born and raised, and still live at the beach in SoCal. I have been hunting in Eastern OK with my FIL for the past 14 years or so. I did not grow up hunting or with firearms. I did own some pistols and .22 rifles but didn't shoot regularly. I attended OSU and met my wife there who is from Tulsa area. My father in law has hunted his whole life and taught me everything he knows since I have been hunting. He is a great teacher and a wealth of knowledge. I now enjoy hunting as one of the best hobbies I do. Now, I have the huge joy of teaching my 9 year old son about hunting. It is something he looks forward to every year. I even have started taking him out of school for the 3 days prior to the rifle opener so we can travel to OK and get to deer camp and settle in before opening day. It has become tradition in doing it this way. Last year we even got a letter from the school district scolding me because my boy missed 5 total days of school before thanksgiving. I laughed and was pissed at the same time. They were worried because they weren't getting their state money because of his absences. Anyways, I love hunting. Ever aspect of it is awesome. There have been many years where I never pulled the trigger and more than a few where I killed a big buck. Sitting in the woods, watching nature and enjoying the day is all the fun. Actually shooting a nice deer is icing on the cake. If you think hunting is something you want to really get into then, like any other hobby, make friends with hunters that can show you the ropes. Most hunters will he more than willing to help a new hunter out as many if not all true hunters and those that take this sport seriously know how important it is to get new blood involved. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
