[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 3037137, member: 8394"] Passed on the 12th. Seemed too young. Many moons ago, a guy from church who was a bit of a character in his own right used to take me hunting. Chuck was one of the guys he hunted with, but only introduced as a vet (back then maybe a quarter of my friends had dad's who were Vietnam vets so didn't really think much of that). I was told that if he shoots the same time as you at a squirrel or coyote chances are it was him that hit it and not you. Fact that'd be the running joke in the truck with all the old guys on our way to meet up to hunt. It was just fun to sit in the back of the old jeep and listen to the stories while we meanederd through sage and fields on old ranch roads. Didn't really understand who he was till college, sitting in the dorm watching History Channel avoiding homework. Watching an episode about snipers... and went "hey I know that guy". In a world of self promotion and blow hards all I knew up until that point was my friends dads think this guy's special. Credit to his character, shot squeaks with him a couple times and did a couple coyote hunts... took a TV for me to learn he was a living legend. Wish the world had more men like that.... Have one superhuman coyote shot I remember, I'll try and get to a computer to type up. [/QUOTE]
