Great "snapshot" of the man we knew and loved!

Thanks for posting that, Terry.  Somehow, through all the years I knew Dean, I never saw that one. Good to hear Spudley's voice, too...

Now that's a back quiver. No shortage of arrows when wearing that.

A picture of a box call - on the top of the paddle it reads “for my buddy Cory Mattson with yew wood from Gilman Keasey & Chet Stevenson Good Hunting Dean Torges July 26, 05”

We were good friends and hunting buddies for many years. I miss Dean. There is much more - Deans depth, breathe and scope on many subjects was amazing! When this box showed up I wasn’t even surprised- this is how he rolled. I was afraid to take this call into the woods though and it stayed in my den a cherished item reminding me of good times. This year I started hunting with it and this was the only call I used this year and 5 gobblers made it to our freezers courtesy of the excellent craftsmanship!!! This things a killer - as was Dean. More times than not if I went to check on him he was dragging game out! Very cool reading some of the posts- many a pack of smoked wild hog came to our house. In the skinning shed and the kitchen he was brilliant.

" In the skinning shed and the kitchen he was brilliant"

And in person... and in the written word...and in the shop... and in the amazing ponderings of his mind!

It was a privilege to get to have a friend like Dean (also for so many here!), and a shame that there aren't enough relationships like that in life!

I really enjoyed his writings, and wish I could have met him.  If you haven’t tried his lentil soup recipe you are missing out!

I don't know the ingredient. Way back, before Trad Gang and on the "other site" there was talk about this secret ingredient. Dean would never reveal it but someone he invited to his house for a hunt possibly saw it while Dean was making pancakes. I think he was even sworn to secrecy.

Any of you old timers remember this?
