My dad took my brothers and I along on duck and goose hunts starting when I was about 7. Not allowed to carry a gun. Just watching and fetching. Better than labs. Lol Started shooting squirrels when I was 8 with a .410.

Got a late start on my own hunting seasons because I spent ages 11 to 16 away at boarding school. First year back home I got my licence and away I went. That was the fall of 1975 and I was 17.

I've hunted something every year since. Some years a lot more than others. So I guess I'm at 42 seasons.

Although technically, wouldn't the spring turkey hunt count as a separate "season". Haha!
