I started a little later in life. No one in my family hunted or shot. I did grow up in the outdoors fishing, skiing, camping and boating. I became friendly with another member of this board, Jeff G. through another common passion. We met scuba diving almost 20 years ago and became very good friends. Jeff introduced me to upland game hunting at his property in New York and it became another great excuse to be spending time outside.
About 10 years ago I picked up my first double gun a Browning Superposed. Over time I've added to the collection with an Ithaca Flues 16 ga. an L.C Smith Ideal 12 ga. and a Verney-Carron 16 ga. french SxS.
Last year we traveled to So. Dakota and next we're looking at a trip to Canada. The shooting/hunting world has introduced to a lot of good people and great memories. I'm looking forward to see where it goes next.
