[QUOTE="CDE, post: 1582107, member: 23909"] I just turned 59. All of my collection took time and hard earned money so their special to me. My dad just passed away this last summer. He had a handful of guns and I only hunted with him and my brother couple of times. I will always have those memories. My passion came from growing up watching my older cousins go hunting and fishing with my grandfather. I was able to hunt a couple of times with him before his days afield were done. Pheasants were his passion. He took me on my first pheasant hunt that took all day before I finally connected on one. I became the hunter-out doorsman in our family. I have one of his 22 rifles. It was toast when I got it. I completely refurbished it and it rarely makes it out of the safe. Our son pasted away six years ago as a teenager. We were just starting those first hunting trips. None of my siblings have kids, and my wife's side has one nephew. He just came back from over a decade of service because he wanted to spend time with family. Not sure yet but he may win the lottery. After 40 years of reloading, hunting and fishing I have a lot of stuff. I'm in the middle of thinking of thinning the herd and upgrading to ones that I'll use in the coming years. For those of you that have kids and family to create memories with, go for it. It's all worth it. The Guns are just part of the experience. My favorite hunting memory is of the elk hunt that I took my wife and young son on. We bumped some grouse while we were walking in, and the rest of the party went on. My son ran back and grabbed his 20 ga while I stayed there. He connected on his first bird a few minutes later. Now that's great stuff! The smile and stories from him later were the best!! Make it a great CDE, [/QUOTE]
