I can never remember not hunting. Seriously. my Mom has pictures of me in a knapsack on her back and on my Dad's back before I could walk. My Grandfather owned a Ranch and while he was too busy to actually 'go hunting' he did manage to take more than a few 'targets of opportunity'.

I have a friend who was raised down the road who never tasted beef until he was about 12. Beef was a cash crop and too expensive to actually eat.

Staying on the ranch my Grandmother used to take me out on horseback when I was a tike and probably taught me the most, particularly how to shoot. Maybe that's why some people say I shoot like a girl?

Anyway, like I said, can't ever remember not hunting or carrying a rifle in the woods.
