Same here, Wild Bill.

Both my Grandpa's hunted, but my dad's dad never bothered with teaching/taking my dad out because my dad was Deaf. Mom's dad had more fun in a bottle than in the woods.

Andy Anson was the "old man across the street" that first put a BB gun in my hand. Andy was a navy vet (WW2), and lost a leg in a motorcycle accident shortly after. Andy was retired by the time I started lurking in his garage, and we put many a hole in a can over the years.

He's been gone almost 20 years, but his lessons weren't lost, and will be passed on to my boy when he gets a bit more grown.
