[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1547427, member: 12443"] Hi again Ken, well the year we last spoke was the same year you killed that buck in Grindstone. That spot was one of the ones (created) in that area by the Rankin bros from Pittsburg. Both very good friends also, and no longer hunting either. I also remember Larrys dad, he came to Larrys camp the first few years Larry had that place. Larrys brother in law also, if I recall was Amos? poor guy got sick and died fairly young with cancer. Same with Larry Kepp, one of my early mentors, died at 42 with same thing. As for Dick Thomas, (Premier Reticles), thanks to Larry I got to meet him also, and he is yet another tragic story. But a short story about how that meeting came about. We were on our lookout on Nanny, and I picked up a decent buck over there. I got the others with me on it, and then my son got on the gun and found the deer. But before he could get things ready, the buck dropped and started sliding down the hill, then we heard the shot. Awhile later 2 guys were making there way to the deer, and I recognized one to be Larry. When he got to the deer he looked it over then turned around and held up 7 fingers for the others to see. That evening I went to his camp and busted on him over shooting (our buck), and he introduced me to the shooter, who happened to be Dick Thomas. I had spoken with him by phone several times with regard to having dots installed, but it was nice to actually get to know the guy. [/QUOTE]
