How many have got someone into hunting?

None yet, but I have two people that I think are borderline. A good friend of mine and I talk about hunting and conservation quite a bit, and he eats meat but doesn't want to kill an animal himself. I think he'd be open to the experience eventually. I talked to him recently about a pig hunt I was going on, and he said he would have no issue if it were an invasive species. I don't think he quite has a grasp on how conservation works yet and so he has this wonky viewpoint, but I'm working on it! And my little brother said he thinks he might like to go hunting some day after I recommended he watch some Meateater on Netflix. Both are fortunate because I already hunt and could easily take them when they are ready.

My cousin when he was in his mid 40's. His daughter a few years earlier. My 3 sons. I suppose my wife counts; she doesn't hunt with me but she isn't shy when it comes to processing. Plus she is keeps me motivated to take the boys when I think I'm too worn out from the week to go.

3 permanent hunting buddies now that live 400 miles west of me as well.

I've got an old coaching buddy of mine into Mule Deer and Elk hunting. He got his first Elk 2 years ago and his first Mule this past hunting season. I've taken him out on both times. After I bought a bow so did he and now he gets at least three tags a year. This year I had a guy who I'm starting become friends with go on his first elk hunt. His dad flew down from Minnesota to go with. We had a blast. This year was also my wife's first ever time having a tag. I enjoy going with someone new more than I like going by myself, most of the time. Showing them the ropes is fun for me.
