Amen brother.And I know what you mean. Hunting without my dad isn't the same. It's been 10 years and it feels like yesterday.
My wife and my dad got along very well, he took her in like the daughter he never had. When my wife started shooting and hunting he teached her a lot, he didn't let me do it much, he wanted to do it LOL. He loved teaching new shooters and hunters, and she was no exception. She still misses him to this day.
Like I said, the memories live forever.
This is beautiful...You guys would've like Dad. He didn't like to fish but he took us anyway. Any time we wanted. Same with shooting, reloading and hunting.
I miss him.
