When did it all begin?

[aquaassassin]

Bout time this thread took off! I thought it was gonna be a dud and it would of been a shame I tell ya . Here are a couple. I know, I know, it's blurry and it is not really me it could be Charlie Moore . This is me with a Hare from When I was 8. My dad is a big time rabbit hunter and loves running beagles. It is what I grew up on in my early years. I didn't get to deer hunt a ton because my father worked so many hours that time of year and football litterally controlled my life so much that I could maybe go 2 or 3 times a year anyway until I got my drivers license. Here are my first two deer when I was 16, a 146 lb. 4 pt. with the recurve and a 115 lb. 6 pt. in full velvet with the compound.......

Nice pics aa...... Our football teams were never very good during our varsity years so we were usually done in october

LOL, yea we had to play throug Thanksgiving if you started......

I think I've figured out why all of AA's older pics look so crappy.  He started blurring them at an early age to keep his secrets, then realized you only have to do the backgrounds.

You may need help with both. Just kidding at least you have those kinda pics from your child hood I do not. Dad claims he has some but I have yet to see them.

Well i have hunted since i was 12 (small game ) and bow hunted whitetails since i turned 14. always followed my father and older brother out on watch to learn all that i could. My first deer was a doe in southern tier at the age of 18. could not tell ya anything about the size but was the most adrenaline i have ever had in the woods. HOOKED!!! 
Never harvested deer with my bow until i was 20. persistent i guess. just loved to be in the woods with the challenge of a bow. still primarily hunt deer and turkey with the bow.
