Whew!

I was not prepared for that.

I`m gonna go get myself a beer, and call some friends that I haven`t spoken with in a while.

Nice buck!

"Big Fred"... what a guy!!!   :campfire:

Thanks for sharing tim and sorry for your loss. It sure seems that Fred had a guiding hand in this one. The mount is an excellent idea to treasure the whole expereince.

Please continue on this great sport of ours / you have so much more to give and share, thanks again Jerry.

Tim,
Thanks a million for sharing this difficult part of your life with all of us.  As so many others have already said, the story touches a spot so deep within each of us.  I can feel your love for you friend.

Thanks for the "reality check" - thanks for the touch.

Very sorry for your loss.
I heard a speaker at Senator Stevens funeral this fall wish for the family that they would soon get to the day that when they thought of him, their first response would be to smile, not cry.
I can tell that you are well on your way, with so many good times to draw on.

Thanks for sharing your story. The lucky ones among us all have a friend like Fred and we all cherish the days we get to spend afield with them.

No such thing as coincidence. All occurs as it is. Ours is the chance to be open to seeing whats there. Congrats to you for being observant enough to harvest a REAL TROPHY  on that hunt.

He loves you brother, as much as you loved him and he wanted you to know.

Be Well
