As we speak, I’m on my way to Texas where Tyler Kee will be meeting me and teaching me to hunt for the first time. I’m feeling a strange mix of emotions — anxiety about whether my guns will still be zeroed when they come off the plane, a touch of trepidation about whether the baggage handlers will steal them before I even get to Texas, nervousness about being able to hit my target and even some tinges of preemptive remorse for possibly taking the life of another living creature. But above all, there is a thick layer of excitement. This is something I’ve always wanted to do, and as someone on Twitter mentioned “…learning to hunt on a ranch in Texas is pretty much the same as learning to golf at Augusta National.” Stay tuned because this is going to be an interesting weekend.
