40years ago BUT !!.
« on: November 24, 2020, 01:07:59 PM »
I geuss as old age creeps into perspective , it seems that past and present are constantly in review mode , I lost another relitive that is responsible for my interest in fishing , hunting and getting out into the woods , and learning how to be in the woods on my own , camping and hunting , it's sad that it sometimes takes loss to realize exactly what I've lost since he moved away , I make this listing in the memory of Emery my uncle , the day he took me deer hunting for the first time , we road hunted some private land he new for most of the morning , and finally we got out of the truck , as soon as he closed his door , I saw 4 deer stand up in the brush about 75 yards away from what my imagination tells me , and I screened uncle emry !! There's some deer right over there !! He looked and looked and looked , he said he didn't see them , luckily I had brought that rediculuose but to me awesome bonocculars that they gave me at the end of gun school , I gave them to him , he worked with them for a while , set them down and said how the hell did you see those deer !! As he grabbed his rifle and clip , he fired on e from where we stood and now he showed me how to field dress a 3×4 white tail , all the way home he kept explaining how lucky we were and it doesn't always happen that way , I've learned that lesson several times , but I'll never forget the lucky day we had , and I know now just how lucky I really was ,,,, ( that day )

Many of my treasured memories involve hunting success or near success adventures with since departed family members.  Fortunate to have been brought up in the outdoors to share these adventures with family and friends and create memories that last beyond lifetimes.    Happy you had these times with your Uncle, cherish the memories while you still can!
