It was first my father who introduced me to the outdoor life; fishing, hunting and the adventures in nature. As I remember, I was always my father’s little partner in his hunting and fishing. As a child it was a fantastic experience for me to become familiarized with nature and that was great to follow my dad’s instructions and learn the facts about the outdoor life. During my school days, I was always anticipating the weekends and holidays so that was the outdoor trips.

As I grew up, I learned more about sport fishing and hunting and my father was the one who encouraged me to be more involved in these sports. He was a great bird hunter and Trout angler. I remember the first day that I had an independent hunt of a partridge and another day that I have caught my first Trout without dad’s instruction.

After a while I mis sed my father when he died and left me alone with all our common memories. I can now remember the sight of the last partridges that he hunted in our last hunting trip.
