Thought ya'll might enjoy this

I know I did. A friend of the family brought this newspaper clipping to her this week from my Dad's first hunt to Montana in 1980. He took the spike and the 7x6 in the pics and a couple of mule deer. Still have the 270 Weatherby Magnum in the pics that he used and it's still has the same strap and scope as it did that day. I'm even menioned in the story about plans to take me the next year. Never did make it to Montana, but we did do a Black Bear trip to British Columbia. Kilt some bears and drank with some real injuns. Was a heck of a trip.

Anyway, My Dad sorta started the ball rolling for folks around here to go out West hunting. That's why they got such a large article in the local paper.

Cool! Too bad the print is too small to read. How come you didn't inherit any of your dad's outdoorsman genes?

Good stuff WB!!!! Feelay does have a valid question though!

that is pretty darn cool right there! I am like feelay tho, what happened to you?

Dad done good.

Thanks for sharing WB

That was nice of your friend and sounds like one of those trips you never forget for your dad.

Imma thinkin .....just from what I can tell from the post I have been seeing....and some of the questions of having to revert to snaggin and all.....WB jus sayin....that the genes maya skipped a generation and reached the other "Be's" that are up and coming....hahahahaaha

WB, jus had to throw my 2 pennies worth in man.....

Besides aint nuttin wrong with them gettin your share of genes......that is the bright side to it...

Jus kiddin...

Man you all keep on fishin..

Take your boys on a trip like that, they will never forget it.

Thanks for sharing that Wannabe.....brought back memories of my Dad and I hunting mule deer and elk out in Washington. I still have my Dads model 70 Winchester 300 Holland and Holland magnum rifle....thats the gun I shot my first deer with. Our Dad's may be gone now but the memories last forever. Follow Mr. Jims advice Chris....that way the circle won't be broken.

That is a big ole 10-4....
