My father was my hunting mentor. He started me young – I still remember sitting in a dark vehicle in the middle of the night at age 3 or 4 while he and his buddies hunted coon. I got started on upland game birds in western NY State. Dad only bowhunted for deer one season, when I was about 14, but I had been shooting a bow for several years by then. I pretty much mentored myself when it came to bowhunting. However, although I do not know them personally, over the years I credit much of my development and success as a bowhunter to the writings of Gene Wensel and Paul Brunner.
