Who inspired your interest in hunting?

Like many of you, my Dad was the impetus of hunting for me and my brothers. As I learned later, I was responsible for getting him back to hunting after a couple decades long sabbatical. I'm forever thankful for the beginning he gave me and have been blessed to be instrumental in getting my son into hunting (he was 6 months old on his first hunting trip), as well as my grandkids. 36 years later, my son and I will be hunting elk in a couple weeks as we have done (almost) every year.
 
Reading old Field and Stream and also The Field British mag. I would pore over the pictures and imagine. We grew up with air rifles, I only got a firearm of my own when I was 63!

Here's a photo of Tony receiving that Shaw & Hunter award at the 1970 annual EAPHA Dinner Dance. Tony Dyer, then EAPHA President and Princess (Sunny) von Auersperg presented it. I also attended the event.

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ
