7. The last time I hunted with a gun

Mon Jun 27, 2022, 03:53 PM

Jun 2022

Was when I was 5.

With my air gun, my pocket knife, a compass and the family dog.

My grandfather sent me out to get a black squirrel for his fly tying.

This followed several weeks of shooting practice, and instructions on how to find north, and how to sharpen my knife, etc.

It all seemed normal to me at the time.
