I think some of my family members have hunted before, but they don't normaly do it every year. I haven't really asked most of my family if they hunt or have hunted before but I know for sure some have.

growing up in the Upper Peninsula of michigan, Hunting was something that everyone does. Heck the high school i went to gave us all the first day of rifle season off, because going to Deer Camp was something that most of the student population did. I myself always preferred Bow hunting and Bird hunting. Never gotten a Deer myself, but didn't exactly put much effort into it. I mainly go out hunting as an excuse to get out in the woods and walk around.

I guess pesthunting with an airgun does not count...
Took down some nice rats over the years, also some doves (air-rats) and even a bunch of mice point blank, but the regulations over here for real hunting are really hard.
A) expensive as hell (courses cost around 3-4k € and take around 6 month, every weekend (I work every weekend))
B) I guess it would be easier to become a doctor, than a hunter (same with fishing nowadays, I am glad i got my permit back in the days). I checked out the papers and you really have to know a whole lot of stuff to get the permit.
C) Gun laws, I live in a country where the state is afraid of armed citiziens, sometimes good, mostly bad...

i think hunting in my favorite sport to be honest, its all quiet in the woods and it gives you time to think and you will never see real nature in a zoo!

I can't wait for the season to start, Freezer has no venison!! I usually have to bag a minimum of 3 to keep the freezer stocked for the year.

My whole family hunts but the only deer I ever killed was with my Ford ranger. Does that count, we did eat her?

I've never actually killed one, but my uncle hit one with his squad car and brought it in jerky form to Thanksgiving!

My family have all been hunters since I can remember. This will be my 9 year old son's second hunting camp. He is just going to sit with me this year (as he did last year), but going to camp with the bunch of us is still exciting to him. I will have three doe tags and my buck tag this year, so I hope to fill the freezer and then some!
