i was the oldest of 3 girls in my family and i was the one who got up at 5 to go fishing with dad and the year i turned 13 took my gun safety course of course had been shooting since i was about 5 we lived in washington state who had a lottery for doe permits my dad tried every single year for one and never got one my first year out i got one! dad was so proud and of course had to tell everyone. unfortunatly it was not a good year for deer hunters very dry no snow so we didnt get to fill it but it was a wonderful season with my dad it was also the last year i hunted with him because after that i hit that teen spot of not wanting to do anything with my family but i do have great memories of that year he never lets me forget my awful garlic fried chicken i thought garlic salt and garlic powder were the same NOT! couldnt eat fried chicken for a long time after that! lol
