About Us
There was nothing unusual about us, a typical, sometimes dysfunctional family. We lived about three miles north of a small town in North Eastern Texas.
Dad married "the girl next door". The doors were some distance apart; we lived in the country.
I grew up living between my grandparent's. I could walk a hundred yards to my Grand-Dad's home; turn an equal distance to go to my Mom-Buck's.
Relatives are still scattered up and down that beautiful old country road.
It wasn't perfect, Dad was a good, honest, man, but with a drinking problem. Mom tried to keep things going. My sister is six years younger, and my brother twelve years younger. I spent a lot of time alone. From an early age I 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. Even as a kid I can remember passing up shots on song-birds. I hunted everything, first with a BB gun, and later with a .22. I didn't want to read at school, but read the outdoor magazines. I wanted to be like Jack O'Connor a then popular gun-writer for "Outdoor Life" magazine.
My graduation, 1965. The Vietnam War was going strong; I joined the Air Force. In the Air Force I became interested in photography.
It became about 'us' at my last duty in Western Oklahoma. There I met my wife, Sharon. After my discharge we both attended SWOSU. I dropped out to be a professional photographer for the next 20 years. (I took almost all of this site's pictures.)
My wife got sick and I had to teach her 4th grade bible-school class. I liked teaching young kids! Back to college and I became a fourth grade school teacher. I've worked with women and kids for over 20 years. That makes me an expert with wildlife!
The beginning of "score-your-hunting".
Thinking about us, our future, I started looking for something to do when I retire. 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 going to 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 a skilled hunter want to kill a deer that way? I realized how some are obsessed with getting a big deer; it troubled me.
"Score-Your-Hunting" came slowly. I thought about a club first. "Score-Your-Hunting" could become an organized club someday.A website seemed to make sense, but my thoughts ran into each other: I don't know anything about making a website! I do know photography, hunting, guns, optics... I'm not a good writer! I was excited, but not very confident! This is an important point: I quickly found that anyone can make a website for very little money. But, most of them are invisible, lost among the millions of websites on the internet.
I'm thankful I found SBI, "Site Build It". I could have started with one of those free site building programs. Common sense told me that something was not right about them. Building a website takes a considerable amount of work. I understand today that I would have wasted my time and built something for them. Learn a little about how the web works before you start. With SBI I'm building my website and it works. Score-Your-Hunting has good, honest, growing traffic. It has become an important part of my life. But, enough about us, I'm already sold on SBI. You've heard this before: but if I can, you can! What you've been reading here, about us. I write what I know about, what I care about, what I'm interested in. You can do that! Learn more by watching the video below. Disclosure: Yes! I get paid! I would tell you for free, but I like getting paid! Please us my links to SBI, if you sigh-up it cost you the same, but I make a commission that way. I also get paid when you click on the Google adds. Some other links may help to promote this website in a small way. There are lots of ways to make money. You can do the same, or more, with your own SBI website. New! You can now purchase SBI for only $29.99 per. month. Also new: An SBI page, but you may not understand the benefits until you know more about how the web works. Trust me, it's great:
