I start hunting with my father 10 years old. In Norway, it is not allowed to hunt with bows. But in 2010 the Norwegian hunt and fishing association consider whether to allow bowhunt. Crossing fingers;)

I have to say that my hunting started with a BB Gun and I was darn good with that thing! When I first got it, I could not hit the broad side fo a barn. Tried to adjust the sighs, nothing as they were fixed. I had to learn how to aim low and left!! After that, I think I was as deadly, but not as good as DRR324! LOL!! Not to mention that was a great story and brought back alot of memeories! God did I shoot birds in the back yards and loved using mom's feeder, that is until the day I got caught! Dang my butt hurt for about 3 days after that!
Graduated to a 22 at Grandma's house/farm! Was alot better shot with the ole auto 22 and learned how to save money for shells! Grew up hunting deer with a 308 and took some nice bucks.  Made the decision to go bow only at 18 and never looked back!

My Uncles put me in a ground blind on their South Texas brush country huning land when I was in my mid teens. My Dad wasn't really a hunter (he went a few times with a gun and shot one deer and never went again)so my Uncles got me going.

Single shot .22-.250 was what I had in my hands and I could not believe it....I was hunting! I will spare you the details but a nice plump doe ended up riding home in the truck that day. I have been hooked ever since. Within a year or two I was bowhunting with a Bear Whitetail II compound bow and since then the bowhunting fire has burned strong!

I would encourage anyone to take any kid hunting that expresses an interest. You never know how it will turn out. Sometimes all it takes is for one of us to just take the time to help. My Uncles are older now but I think of them nearly every day and give thanks for having them in my life. Even as a snot nosed teenager they treated me like a man and had confidence in me when I didn't. I try to do the same when my kids or any of their friends are here. If they want to shoot bows I am always ready with one for them. If they want to hunt....lets GO!

Thanks for asking. Makes me smile to think of all the memories stored up over the years.

Started hunting at age 65 when I was introduced to a compound.  Ditched it  after 4 months when I tried my first stick bow.
Even if I never manange to get my trophy buck, I will gladly settle for the great moments of peace, and tranquility found in the woods, and the challenge of hand & eye coordination required to hit the mark.
For me it is the journey and the new passion I have found.

I grew up in MO.  With a hedge tree in the back yard.  My Mom made my first hunting bow out of that tree.  We took a straight branch, cut notches for the string, used a piece of white nylon and I was set.  It killed a lot better than any B-B gun my friends had.  Didn't know anything about tiller or growth rings.  I just shot it a lot.  I was the only one who could regularly kill, not just hit rabbits.  The arrows cost .25 at Ace.
