theback40In an interview he said, " when they put that rifle in my hands, I thought, lets go hunt something"
He was just a skinny rural hunting kid, but he could sure shoot.
I remember chuckling to myself when I read the interview.
I had bought myself a pair of Leupold compact bino's, when I was in, and always had them with me. Even when in the jungle they were useful, and I was always using them. My men were always saying I was "out hunting" when we were deployed.
