Traveling Man, Andy UpTop
« on: February 21, 2010, 08:11:00 AM »
Will I see Andy made it Up Top. I have been talking with andy some and as most of you know, Andy does a lot of traveling. He lives the life some of Us just dreams of.

Not that there is no one else that travels as much or as far as Andy does. But He told me He comes to the States to work from time to time. He also goes back Home to South Africa and over to Oz.

Now I don't know Andy that good, But from talking to Him. He seems to Enjoy His way of life. Not really tied down to any one spot. Living Life to the fullest, Seeing what The Great Spirit has made from all over.

Good Luck Andy in Your travels. May the Great Spirit look over You as You cross this Great Planet. Stay Safe My Tradgang brother, and I wish You the best where ever You go.

If You ever make it to texas again Look me Up and We'll go fling some arrows at the bale or some Texas game..

Cheers for Andy Ivy. A very exciting young man that I have had the pleasure of doing business with and corresponding with as well. I wish you the best in everything you set out to do, Andy.

In case some of you don't know, Andy goes by the handle of "tradtusker" and has been here at TradGang for quite some time. He is a very interesting person who enjoys life to the fullest.

I wish I would have made it over to hang out with you before you had to leave Andy. We will meet up one day I am sure of it though.

Having shared camp with Andy a number of times, he is a great guy! He is young and has more air miles on him than most. His passion for traditional bowhunting is second to none. At his age he has more hunting behind him than many will ever do. He gets his good looks and hunting prowness from father Allan, all in the genes. The entire Ivy clan are an enthusiastic bunch and great pleasure to share camp with. If you ever get the chance to travel to South Africa or Australia to hunt, you would be wise to look Andy up as he will be guiding this year in both places. You'll meet no finer a person to hunt with.

All I can do is second what everyone else has said. I've known Andy since we were both still English(ish) & a finer young man I have never met. His enthusiasm for hunting & the great outdoors is pretty much only equal to his skill & knowledge. He has experienced more in his short life than 99.9% of the population will ever see in 2 or 3 lifetimes.

And he's good looking.

Bastard.


  :biglaugh:  

Seriously though, good luck for the coming year Andy, wherever you end up! I'msure you'll have a lot of fun on the way!

Andy

Mate well done up top. Looks like I've made the right choice to have you guiding for me over the next few years. Looking forward to the years ahead.

Cheers
Mick
