Thread: How did you get interested in hunting?

Greetings All,
I wrote about my initial exposure to hunting in my intro a while back so won't repeat it but a few years later, 17, working and with my own car a friend and I started to do a few tramps. From time to time we saw deer, usually in pretty easy spots and thought knocking over a few for the larder would be a good idea. Legs of venison my Uncle Hec dropped of vanished pretty quick so my cobber and I both got a .303 and "hunting" started. Neither of us had a mentor and consequently results were meager. I still got the outdoor bug and have hunted with modest results ever since. Early on I got interested in hand loading and that has been and still is my main interest. I still get out and enjoy sitting on a rock and admiring the view. A trip on which I have no need to make any loud noises or carry anything heavy is appreciated more than any other.
Regards Grandpamac.
