Never did pass (or take) Hunter Safety.  It wasn't required in 1960, but what was required was having Dad and my uncle think I was responsible enough to take out.

Took hunter ed in 1994 but didn't get to hunt until 1995.  Killed a 3pt in Goldendale.  On the pack out my dad shot a heavy beamed 3x5.  We jumped him out of his bed and my dad made a great running shot with half my deer on his back.

Spring of 1964, I took the class at Tacoma Sportsmans Club. Got a 8' spike with eye guards on Quartz Mountain South west of Republic. I still have the euro mount in the rafters of the garage along with the 2X2 my dad got on the same hunt.
