(15,396 posts)I hadn't went hunting since the fall he was born. I'd only went once or twice a year for the past 20 years.
He reintroduced me to hunting so to speak, I've spent the last 3 seasons hunting with the greatest hunting buddy I've ever had.
My father had zero use for military style firearms and only owned one 25 auto pistol. We only had two pistols in the family until 1986 or so.
Shotguns were the thing in our family, we had 40 or 50 of them among my Grandfather, Father, brother and I. It's down to my brother and I now. Most years go buy without me doing anything with my shotguns except cleaning them.
I do love to coyote hunt with my AR, and I'm currently in hold mode building a deer rifle (6.8, 300blk, or 6.5 I can't decide) with another lower I built early this year.
My wife and kids love shooting my other AR with the CMMG 22lr conversion, it's a load of fun to plink with at the range.
For my EDC I carry a LCP my wife decided on a smith revolver for hers earlier this year.
Anyway....I've put most of my gun funds into Dirt bikes and plan on the bulk of our fun budget to go that direction in the coming year.
Stay Safe..
