I love to hunt!  I have been hunting since I was 16.  I used to go out with my dad in Michigan and hunt the big Bucks and does.  Since I moved here to NC, I've noticed the deer are a lot smaller.  But the thrill of hunting has not gotten any smaller!  I too hunt for food, not trophies.  I do not have horns, heads or full mounts anywhere in my home....but the freezer is full!!!
Was planning on taking my dad Bear hunting this season, but my Dad passed  this past May, so now I hunt solo till my son gets older.  My older sons dont have the interest in hunting that my father and I shared.  I have not gone hunting this year, but will go next year.  I'm buying a lifetime license for me and my youngest son.  So maybe I can instill the pride and memories my father gave me, into my son.  Thus passing on a long family tradition.
