For me it was my great grandfather. He was a quiet, hard working man who worked to live and lived to hunt and fish.
He started me out gopher hunting the summer I was five or so, teaching me about how to safely handle a firearm and how to think like the animal I was hunting. After a couple of years of shadowing him I finally graduated to his model 12. The first time I shot it, it put me on my back side. He just kind of smiled and told me I'd get better at it.
His ideas were simple, hit what you shoot at or don't shoot, and pay attention to whats happening around you. Over the years from prairie dogs to elk those to thoughts have served me well. Thanks Gramps..
How about you?
