Ha, I was visiting and folks gave me box with all my pictures from childhood as we were looking at my 2 kids now and showing my wife some funny, neat or embarrassing pics of the past. Had my hunting section in there. Pretty funny as I hadn't seen these in 20+ years.
This was my 1st buck. I was 14 I think. The next year I got a buck and doe, here's the doe. Here's article from my high school newspaper - journalism class had me pumping out one article a month on "any topic" relevant to students. That month's article, that happened to be about hunting, 20-ish years ago, was quite the masterpiece
I was a SLACKER in school "what do I need to do to get out of here"- didn't find much value in school.... I just "picked something" I could write about each month in Journalism class and in the "school days" - I kinda did the minimum to get by so I could get out, work, hunt and have fun. (don't recommend screwing off like I did !). Still funny though & thankfully worked out ok where I'm not living under a bridge now or something.
I was a city boy that somehow got into hunting. Always obsessed with outdoors since I could walk. Never got the call from the Major Whitetail Hunting Magazines trying to recruit me after this gem below?!?!? Good times, good memories. So many more beyond that. Horrible hunting when and where I grew up but man did we have a blast when we started even then where most the time you never even saw a deer period. Fun times and memories and great to see them after 20 years even though they are imprinted in my head forever...
