Opening Statements

This is my first post of many for this blog. This blog will discuss the many outdoor sports that are out there such as hunting, fishing, trap shooting, mountain biking, etc. I hope for this blog to open up some people’s minds to the many sports and activities that the outdoors has to offer.
I chose this topic to write about because it is one that I have a large interest in, and one that  I devote a large amount of my time to when I’m not in school. During my summers I frequently go trap shooting, and fishing with my friends and brothers. Then in the fall I goose, pheasant, deer, and duck hunt with my father. I turkey hunt in the spring and enjoy going on many camping trips with my Boy Scout troop.
Starting in the 5th grade o was going on weeklong camping trips with my Boy Scout troop to summer camp. While I was there I would shoot 22 rifles, shotguns, compound bows (I even made my own arrows). I also enjoyed mountain biking through the many extensive trails of the camp and around my own home town. I have gone spelunking (also known as caving) which is where I first learned what true darkness was. It was so dark that you could put your hand in front of your face and still not see it. As a testimonial to my many years of scouting, and how involved in it I am, I have reached the rank of Eagle Scout.
