No one in my family ever took me hunting because I was an unreliable and sensitive kid. I taught myself, and I bonded with myself being out in the woods for 10 hours at a time in the cold, trying to figure out how to stay still and not get up and move all the time. I bought a gun and practiced shooting around the same time a lot of other people did the same. Then thought alright I'm confident I can quickly kill a deer and I have most of what I need, but it turned out to be a much larger commitment than I realized.
I only did it because I thought my dad wanted to do it to bond but he only did it because he thought that I wanted to do it to bond
We never bonded btw
Plus I was and still am a terrible shot so I only ever bagged one deer
