Very much like me. Dad was a terrible hunter. But he did install the love of the outdoors and taught me the most important lesson of all- ENJOY your time out.
Going out was not about killing, but time spent in the woods.
Who knows maybe Dad was a great hunter but hunted the way we did because it was more enjoyable. Dad runs a very close second to my son as my best hunting partner.
He did not hunt for the last 12 years, but we sure talked alot on the phone about my son and I going out. He passed last August. Sure will miss filling him in on his grandsons hunts.
