There was a combination gas station/hardware store here in town where they would sell us shotgun shells by the round. Twenty-five cents apiece. I went in there many a time and bought a dollars worth. We're talking fifty years ago. Those were the days.

It all started with frogs and a BB gun. Never looked back.

bb gun very young, went on the first day of buck season with dad at 11 and watched him shoot a buck behind a herd of does with his 300 savage. Then 12 years old was the magical age of passage. Got a basket rack 6 point that first day. That was a special event back then! Now I think many get turned off by starting too young, losing site of the harvest, only chasing big racks - just my opinion.

I think I got my first bb gun when I was 5 or 6, and promptly shot out the glass window of my grandmother's double oven accidentally. I think I got a slingshot that Christmas, before I got my bb gun back, lol. I immediately shot and killed a chickadee and then felt horrible about it as I never thought I would actually hit it, lol.
I think I first went squirrel hunting with my grandpa around age 8 and he let me shoot a squirrel but don't tell because that was illegal. Between the ages of 7-14 I trapped every day of season but had to use other dispatch methods as the communist state I lived in wouldn't let kids hunt until age 12, and not without supervision until age 14. I almost got bit on more than one occasion due to their stupid laws.
When I turned 14 I expanded my trapping line and began hunting squirrels and pheasant with a passion. I was still not allowed to shoot deer until I was 16 which is when I shot my first deer.
Proudly banned from the NTA.
Bother me tomorrow. Today I'll buy no sorrows.
