Boy I sure am jealous of you fellas that started so young.
I took hunters' safety in college, at age 20 after reading Aldo Leopold's Sand County Almanac. I had grown up fishing, but my Dad didn't hunt so was never introduced. My first kill was a beautiful drake mallard on the Wisconsin River near Steven's Point. I would take the bus home to Marshfield from UW-Madison almost every weekend, and use my Dad's truck and God father's trapping skiff to hunt ducks.
I went on my first big game hunt in 2015 at age 22, and have been absolutely addicted every day since.
I've lived out West my entire adult life, and am still bummed I didn't get to experience fall in the Wisconsin woods chasing deer and birds growing up.
Going to make sure my kids have the opportunity early to be hooked!
