True Manhood
One could possible say that I am making my first step into true manhood on Thursday. For the first time ever, I will be braving the elements and attempting to shoot live animals. That's right, this city kid is going hunting. My small group leader at church has a huge amount of land that he is going to take me hunting on. This will be the first time I've fired a real gun, and I'm pretty excited. Hunting is something I've always been casually interested in but never seriously considered as something I would ever have the chance to do. Several members of my family hunt or have hunted in the past so it's always been something I've been familiar with, but now it's my turn to be a man. I highly doubt that I will actually kill any deer, but at least it will be a fun experience. I will be sure to update afterwards with stories.

You should find a place where you can take some practice shots before you go, that way you might have some chance at hitting what you aim for.
that's too bad...at least tell bambi why
I think the plan is that I will get a little practice with the gun before we actually head out to the real targets.
That sounds like a lot of fun. In my opinion hunting is mostly about friendships, the enjoyment of being in a natural setting, the connection with history and the way our ancestors provided for themselves. Actually harvesting an animal is a bonus but you don't have to kill an animal in order to have a really good time hunting. Remember to keep safety first.
