When I was a boy, I shot a rabbit once, using a friend's air rifle, but our family were not hunters. However, about a year and half ago, one of the guys in my Bible study brought me along on my first deer hunt, on his lease. I enjoyed the heck out of it. I brought along a Remington 700 in .308. My friend took a doe with an AR15, but I got skunked. However, I also got hooked, and I've been trying to figure out ever since how I could afford my own share in a lease. I BADLY want to go hog hunting, and my son - who has never been hunting in his life yet - wants to come with me.

Anyway, I will gladly take advantage of any future hunting opportunities that come my way, and while we are first generation, I will do whatever I can to make it into a family tradition.

In fact, I first found out about this website from our member flintknapper, who is a member on a hunting discussion board I helped to build for someone back then.
