Cut my traditional trad journey teeth many years ago hunting javi in southern texas. Made many of friends, lost some and the group that gathers every February continues to shrink. I have so so many memories and of course pictures from over the years.
I too like Pine, continue ask myself, "how may more years do you have to be able to do it"? God willing lots!!
Have gone on several trad group hunts due to this forum, some in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana, have met many, many wonderful people.
This year will be my third, attending the Boeuf Hunt in Louisiana hosted by (aka) DanielB89, a member here on the Gang. What a great group of guys and its coming up soon.
Step out of your comfort zone and try one, I did and it's priceless!!
