I started when I was 12 and now I am 21, mostly small game at first then deer. Now I am a turkey fanatic.

I started hunting small game as soon as possible. Did not start deer hunting until 2 years ago. But I went deer hunting with my dad when I was younger. I'm 16 now.

Been hunting for 2 years and absolutely love it. My whole family hunts. Grandfather, uncle, and dad. I cant get enough of it.

I've been huntin' for 47 years. Started out rabbit huntin' with my step-dad, who I saw kill two rabbits seconds apart, with a double-barreled shot gun.
Went squirrel huntin' with his squirrel dog,Ringo.

After he passed away, I started deer huntin' and now that's all I do now, maybe a little squirrel huntin' to get me in the woods to scout for deer ...

As my wife says,"I'm ate up with it!"

When your family is from the Green Mountains of VT, you don't not hunt.

Forty years on my own, my dad probably took me maybe 4 to 6 times when I was a kid. He always had something else to do which is probably why I always include my kid on every hunt.

I started going when I was big enough to walk. Started hunting when I was of legal age, 12. I am a fifth generation Idahoan, so hunting was and is a family tradition. Searched the geneology records, and my first ancestors landed with the Winthrop fleet in the 1630's, and I am sure they hunted, so I guess my bloodline has been chasing game around North America for close to 400 years. The 16th Native American in me has been at it for thousands before that, so I guess I have no choice but to hunt.

ive been hunting since i was 8, so about 9 years now, if it werent for my uncle i wouldnt have ever went hunting.

I'll never forget the day my family took a drive to the country on a Sunday afternoon. A nice buck jumped out of the woods and stood next to the road.
As it stood there my mother was saying how beautiful it was and my brothers and sister were oooing and aawing over it. I was no more than five years old sitting in the far back of the station wagon when I screamed out "shoot it" at the top of my lungs. I was lectured all the way home by mom who thought I was some sort of a serial killer. It was the day I learned I was a hunter. I have no clue where that gene comes from. I am so unlike the rest of my family. That was 40 years ago and I'm still screaming "shoot it" when I see a nice buck.

My dad is the actual convert, i am bein raised hunting and it feels good.

I have been small game hunting for a long time with my dad and brother but my uncle got me into deer and turkey hunting while I was in college.

Hunting has been a tradition in my family for years and years. Some of my earliest memories are of waiting for my dad to come home from bow hunting and always thinking, "I wonder if he got one."

I must have been 4 years old, my dad used to take my brother and I with him goose hunting on Marylands Eastern Shore, we were just tagging along, started actually hunting when I was twelve, I am now 25.

I have never been hunting on my on, I have gone with my uncle and one of my dad's old buddies. I got a bow this year in November, and I have been shooting it at least three times a week since then. I am 16 years old and am pumped up to hunting go this fall.

i have been hunting all my life. every man in our generation has been an avid hunter

I have been hunting about 7 years and I was ask to go with a family member who had/has some property. It was something that I always thought that I would enjoy and I was right. Hopefully I will never miss a season.

I've been hunting since I could hold a gun. Picked up a bb gun, and just started doing work.
