Here is a photo of my dad and I in Dec 1943 when I was 11 years old at our home in Sinton, Texas. This was my first deer. My dad was the county sheriff.
It was a small town and I used to walk through town with a .22 slung over my shoulder going rabbit hunting! Nobody gave me a second look.
BTW, I still have the .30-30 in the photo. My Grandfather bought this rifle new in 1926.....
