6ANut Report post Posted October 11, 2013 1 year ago today I lost my guide in life, the man who not only taught me the birds and the bees but also the outdoors and how to respect her. What he taught me around the campfire is priceless. My Pa, the boss man, was a man that not one person could speak bad of. At a time like this with the world as messed up as it is, losing people like my grandpa and your grandparents are the are the reason we are regressing as a society. It is happening even on here. Enough with the hijacked posts, where are all the congratulations instead of, "you didn't do it my way." I look at this forum as a piece of my Pa with all the knowledge that is available, it just kills me to see all the fighting among like minded people. Attached is a picture of my first bull and my pa teaching me how to gut it. I love getting bloody. I think about you everyday, Pa, I miss you dearly. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper Report post Posted October 11, 2013 Well said! Hats off to your Pa. It is an honor and blessing to have quality people in our lives for as long as God will allow. It sounds like he did the right things with the time he had. Obviously you are prepared to carry the torch. It is important that we have a possitive influence on our kids and other youth....and those that act like kids. I've seen/experienced a lot of this around the campfire. Youth hunts are a great way to be a possitive influence on all involved. In this time of division in/from our government, and society, folks need all the possitives they can get. If we amount to nothing else in life, we must prepare this next generation to be better than us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wdenike Report post Posted October 11, 2013 Well said 6a. We need to see to it we never forget all those generations that gave us what we have today. I call them the era of wooden ships and iron men. Seems more and more in a lot of ways they would be ashamed of the way things are unfolding these days. Some real adjustments need to be made in a lot of ways. Sure hope we all can right the ship. Take care, Willie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
