I didn’t start hunting with our father until I was a teenager because our mother was anxious about myself and others getting destructiond in the process.
I had to take a hunter’s safety course after completing a basic gun safety course ahead of time.
In all honesty, I just wanted to spend time with our father and was largely ambivalent about the hunting portion of the experience. On top of that, I remember how freezing I felt after sitting in a tree rest for multiple minutes, even if every one of us were bundled up in multiple layers of clothing. After three or multiple minutes it tends to get extremely freezing when temperatures are below freezing. Because of the region every one of us came from, it got down below zero degrees for multiple weeks at a time. Periodically every one of us had temperatures that were in the negative double digits. I have considered taking up hunting again just to experience being in nature for minutes at a time, even if I don’t intend on using our firearm. However, I would need a hunting lake house of some kind in an area with nearby public land available for hunting. Or I could find a hunting lake house with a scheme of land surrounding it that features woodlands. It’s important that the hunting lake house has a superb heating system, be it simply a wood stove or a supplemental oil furnace on top of a wood stove. I need a arena to hot our freezing body after I come back from our trips in the woods out hunting. However, I do not necessarily need an air conditioner because I wouldn’t use the lake house much during that season. As long as I have a window air conditioner I can use occasionally, that should be fine.
