My father did the same with me. I was told from a young age that " guns were made to kill and that every gun is a tool not a toy. DO NOT point a gun at anything unless you mean to kill it, even 'toy' guns!"
I miss your dad buddy. He taught me just as much as my own father did!

"Camping"...aka pitching a tent a 2 a.m. in Jan. and trying to start fires with frost covered wood cuz Andy can't tell time.
Ha...dunno how many times I've been told that! Ya, and you only kill for two reasons. Either it was 1) causing problems (turtles in creek/ponds) or 2) for food, and whatever didn't apply to rule number 1 you better eat.
I miss him too. I was told he stayed here long enough to teach all of us what we needed to know to survive and to see us graduate from high school.
