Great picture. It's weird that I don't really know what Jerry looks like. This is only the second pic that I have seen of him. Thank you Mr. Ron for that picture. Where was this taken?
 
This was taken at Jerrys family home near Wilsonville Al. There was many pictures of Howard on the walls as well his bows and other equipment. I got to try on  Howards glove and felt a tingle go up my arm. I said, "Howard just told me that I'm going to win the shoot"....which I did.

Welcome Jerry to the TradGang,
Reading Joebuck's thread brought back a flood of memories as a bunch of us would come over to Alabama from Georgia to shoot.  Good times were had by all!!    :bigsmyl:

Jerry took us on a tour one year, loaded everyone in a church bus. This is the front of the last house where Howard lived on Howard Hill Dr. That's Jerry in the middle next to the pillar standing by Mrs Ben Pearson. I'm on the far left.

those were some great weekends.

I used to love riding that barrel and shootin' at the same time...and the charging boar from atop the stump..and the bear climbing up the tree..and and and!

That's my new 1983 Chevy van pulling into the Howard Hill club in Wilsonville Alabama, what great times those were.

This is the year that my old friend Bob Wesley won the shoot. And to think, I talked him into coming to the event...   :D

Ron, Do you know the fellow in the second row that is kneeling/squatting next to the young boy?  I am thinking he may be a friend of mine I have made a couple of hunts with recently but we all look a little different now.  If so I would sure like to get a larger size of this picture to show him.

Thanks, Tommy
