GameHauler Report post Posted August 28, 2007 Stopped in the local garage to pay the bill on my truck repairs. There right in front of my eyes was a dodge pick up with a sticker in the rear window Walked into the shop and saw a guy that looked like might be a hunter, so I asked him if it was his truck and he said "Yea" We chatted a little and he told me a story about Amanda like a little girl on Christmas morning. Turns out he is the heavy equipment operator for G/F Dept and was working the water project at Tonto Basin that Amanda Helped on. Amanda was excited about that big ol digger and she wanted to play. Judd or Jed (correct me Amanda) let her play and they both had a great time Nice to have met ya SKEETER Hope to see you on the site more Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted August 28, 2007 That was like Christmas! I got personalized lessons on that big rig and it was awesome! Thanks Jed, you rock! I think poor Jed got in trouble for letting me play in the middle of the work. here is a picture of me and Jed and another member of the site, Dan. I keep hoping I will get to go work with Jed again sometime building some wildlife waters. Jed if you see this, thanks again and I recently stopped by that catchment and it's filled to the rim with water and many MD tracks around there. Jed and I spent part of the evening pouring over some of his trail cam pics on his laptop at the ADA camp after working that day. Great to meet folks like that. Jed works full time (if I remember right) with a AGFD crew building water catchments all over the state. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
