Happy Birthday, Bill Quimby

Recommended Posts

I love reading your stories Bill, so thanks for taking the time to post so much information. It's always interesting to hear how things were and how they changed.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier, but me and your old huntn' partner (my dad) wish you a happy one!!!!!

You should give my dad a call some time his new ph. # is 520-220-6076

He talks about you frequently on many of our hunting excursions, he would love to hear from you!

Hayden:

 

I've been busy getting our cabin ready for the winter and tagging along on friends' elk hunts. My wife also is doing our final Christmas shopping in Zuni and Gallop, and I'm the driver, but I will be sure to call your dad after we've moved back in Tucson in a couple of weeks.

 

I'd like to get together over lunch with him and Alex Jacome and talk about the misadventures we three experienced when we were younger and dumber. In the meantime, tell him hello and let him know I often think of the fun we had together.

 

There's a tale you should ask him about that concerned his prized possession at the time ... a folding potty that folded when it shouldn't have on an antelope bowhunt south of the Apache Maid lookout! It was about 1975 or so, and the darned thing had a design flaw (as he soon learned while field testing it).

 

Your dad may be happy to know that although he is mentioned often in my book I did not include that incident. It has a couple of photos he took of me killing a javelina with a bow on the Rail X that he probably will remember, though.

(This is for those who have ordered my "Sixty Years A Hunter" from Safari Press: I corrected and returned page proofs to their production department two weeks ago, so it's possible they could ship books by the end of the year. I was tickled pink to learn that an elk painted by my longtime friend Paul Bosman was chosen to illustrate the dust jacket.)
