I was going through some folders and came across the image below. So I figured I'd give PRDATR a chance to make one of his snarky comments and for all the rest of you guys to have a hoot and holler.
My friend of 40 years, Joe Reynolds, who lives in Ocean City, MD, was the photographer. At the time, I was a field editor for Outdoor Life and he was the northeast regional editor for Field & Stream. We were also business partners in the running of CompuServe (now owned by AOL) outdoor forums for about 15 years.
Although Joe and I hunted doves once near Navajoa, Mex., he's more of a fisherman than a hunter, preferring to use his fly-fishing skills for about any species. Consequently, on an almost twice-a-year basis from 1980 until about 2008, he and I have fished all over the US and in a couple Canadian provinces. This was one of those trips. The set-up photo was taken on a horseback fishing trek into the Bob Marshall Wilderness sometime during the late 1980s.
This is where we were fishing. We could view mountain goats on the slopes while catching huge cutthroats.
