A new article on the Simply Traditional website by none other than Thom Jorgensen (sticksnstones).

While I am always proud of the articles my field staff crew create on the website  this one I am extremely proud of. I met Thom Jorgensen on a hog hunt back in 2012. It took all of 10 minutes after meeting him to know we would be good friends for life. He is just one of those guys that you can tell right away is genuine in everything he says and does. I am very proud to call him my friend. Read this article and you will understand why. Good job my friend.

Wow!

This is humbling and great writing.

Thanks so much for sharing this.
For we did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; instead, we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

That is exactly how I wish the non-hunting public would see us. Sadly not all hunters conduct themselves with this kind of reverence and respect.

Yepper I couldn't agree more Steve, Thom is definitely one of the good ones   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:
For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

Spot on about the modern "kill porn" attitude.  About 99% of most of today's hunting shows should end up on the cutting room floor.

Great read!  Thanks for posting.

Thom definitely represents all that is good about our hunting tradition. He's a wonderful person in other respects as well as he shared unstintingly of his time and knowledge when I was struggling with some EFOC arrows, but it's this hunting ethic that I respect most.

I spent somewhere around 20 years in Germany and that's the first place I got into a group of hunters, other than my high school buds. Germany is very rich in hunting traditions, including respect for the downed game. Many Americans might find it overly "stuffy", but I loved it. From the "last bite", to the way the kill is arranged in a drive hunt, to the private moments spent when you approach your kill. You never step over the body of downed game, you walk around it. There is no fist pumping or yelling. There is plenty of time for celebration after the hunt when "hunting lies" are swapped, a beer or schnaps (or normally several) are raised in toast, and things can get noisy. Your time with your downed quarry is a time for respect.

Thanks Thom for a great story.
