Thought I would bring this up today. The Old Timer has been gone 2 years now. This is his old blind, picture taken last year.

 

I went into his spot Friday night, looking for squirrels. The roof of his blind has caved in now.I thought about fixing it, but decided to let it be. Tommorrow is opening day of deer season here. I will miss reporting to him what I saw.

 I think I will sneak in there this week and shoot the first deer that stands broadside...he was an old time meat hunter and would always chew me out if I let one walk....

Roger,

Thanks for bringing this thread back to the top and sharing the pic today. Your thread makes me think a LOT about my Dad and all of the things we shared and things I still wish I would've asked him while we were in the woods together. Heartfelt prayers sent to you and good luck hunting in that very special place.

Mr. Norris, your a lucky man to have had the opportunity to soak up the stories of your Uncle! I love talking with the "olde" folks, the stories they tell are very wonderful to me and seems to settle them some getting to tell them. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Sometimes, when memories are all you have left,  having someone that you care about listen to them is worth the world.

We will all get there.  Ya done good.

Roger, GREAT POST! I lost my Uncle Ed in the spring. He introduced me to bowhunting some 35 years ago and was my mentor. I carry a photo of my Dad (who also passed)and Uncle Ed and I hunting in my back tag holder. They're always out with me when I hit the woods.

Good thread Roger, this Friday is my Grampa's 90th birthday. He got me into hunting and fishing and is more like a Dad than anything to me. Like your Uncle Jack, he was a gun hunter when he could still get out there. I think I'll try really hard to get him out, at least behind camp for a sit or two...

The last couple of years of my father's life, I knew the stories he'd told me for over 50 years better than he did.  I miss him so much!!!

Only wish I could sit on a log with my Uncle Jack. Like you he was the inspiration for my outdoor life, but unlike you he passed to a better hunting spot 10 years ago. We hunted a hollow behind my grandfathers farm in southern Illinois quite abit. I still go there every year and feel close to my Uncle. I treasure every memory I have of my him. That log will always be a special spot for you, not for the deer, but for the memories. Thanks for sharing.
