Title: The People Who Make IT What It Is
Post by: FerretWYO on January 18, 2012, 11:19:00 AM
A while back I did a post on who can you thank. I dont believe there are many if any who can say they have done everything on thier own. I was looking though some old threads and saw a picture from a few years ago and was reminded once again WHY I enjoy this sport so much.

:campfire:  Hunting with friends is the best nothing like comming back after a long day in the field and talking about the great day in the woods.

Some of the best friends one could have.

My favorite hunting partner, my bro.
 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/comanche/Hunts/DonnyRowanWtDoezTN.jpg)

A hunt I will always remember.
