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!
