I wanted to say a few words on my being a hunter. I am just a teen (a polite one :) , and saved by Jesus). I don't have a dozen stands or trail cameras. I don't have a TV show on the Sportsman Channel to give me funds for food plot and habitat management. In other words, in how much I can do for the property I hunt on is probably just as much as any teen. I will be honest, a lot of my gear was given to me. I either asked for it or was given it as a gift (even if I didn't ask). Most of that stuff I would have bought myself if it had not been given.
I have a $70 Wildgame Innovations Axe 2 gamecamera.
My bow is a Parker Side Kick. It performs well for a youth bow, pretty quiet and accurate. It has the "grow-up-with-Parker" program, which means I can trade in the limbs that came with the bow for thicker limbs for $50. I get to keep the old limbs for when I go to a new bow and I put the slimmer limbs on for my siblings.
This I write for the memory of my great-grandfather (dad's side). A few months ago I posted a picture of my first deer. The gun in the picture is a Winchester Model 94AE, given by my great-grandpa. He died just a few weeks ago. I was happy he saw the rifle put to good use before then. And he was proud of it too.
All of the land I hunt on is of course, not mine. I get permission from my grandfather (my mom's dad). You could say that I get a "free lease." This year my family plans to hunt with me on it, so I have to get a few food plots in to get ready.
I could write more, but, that's all I want to write for now.
