About UsAbout us, we lived three miles north of a small town in North Eastern Texas. 
Dad married "the girl next door". The doors were about 200 yards apart; we lived in the country. I grew up living between my grandparent's. 
My relatives are still scattered along that beautiful old country road.
From age eight I've hunted and fished. Grand-Dad taught me to fish. Dad taught me to hunt quail, squirrel, and a little about deer. The whole family taught me to respect people, property, guns, and living things. I was always hunting or thinking about hunting, first with a BB gun, and later with a .22. I didn't want to read in school, but I read the outdoor magazines. 
It truly became about 'us' at my last duty in Western Oklahoma, 1969. I met Sharon. (The picture above is from our honeymoon.) We both attended SWOSU after my AF discharge. Almost forty years old I went back to SWOSU and became a fourth grade school teacher. I've worked with women and kids for over 20 years. The beginning of "score-your-hunting".Thinking about us, our future, I started looking for something to do when I retire. (I'm still teaching.) I was thinking about us, Sharon and I, but I wanted something important to me.Surprisingly, an idea started when a hunter told me about taking his trophy deer. He told about a hunting ranch where he was "wined and dined". Then he was driven out to a stand where he sat until 'his' big deer came to a feeder. I didn't say much, but it resonated with me! Why would he, a skilled hunter, want to kill a deer that way? I realized how some guys are obsessed with getting a trophy deer; it troubled me. 
The "Score-Your-Hunting" website. At first my thoughts ran into each other: I didn't know anything about making a website! I'm not a writer I thought! I did know photography, hunting, guns... I was excited, but not very confident! I learned that websites don't cost much, but most are invisible, lost among the millions of websites on the internet.
