Earl Brinn passed away.

Steve, I didn't know if you were aware of it. My dad the great outdoorsman passed away a few months back. Hunting with him seems so long ago now. But he really knew his stuff, and boy did he hate skybusters. He'd tell them about it too. I tried to get him to go in his later years with me , but he was never up to it. You never know when that last hunt with someone is. Be it a friend or family member, enjoy it to the fullest. :angel10: See you on the other side. Love you dad, Greg.

Sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad.

The best memories are of the places seen and adventures done together. Not "things".

Take a kid.

Thanks guys. I take my son as often as we can go.

Sorry to hear that Greg. I know your memories will be kept alive when you hunt places he went.

You know its very interesting to me how hunting is tied to our memories of loved ones. I am not a sentimental type, but I enjoy hunting with the decoys my late brother in law left me.

Just yesterday got my dad's old Winchester 50 repaired even though its not worth a darn so my daughter can use this season. He's still alive but can barely walk at 84. He even gets a charge out of hearing his old gun is still at it without him.

Sorry to hear about your loss. On a side note, that is a great town you live in. I visited there last march to go Turkey Hunting on a friend's property.

Greg,

I am sorry about your dad. I did not know he died.

I am sending you a PM.




Earl taught me to duck hunt and I bought my first lab from him.

We had the service sat and it was exactly the way he wanted it. Good by dad.:angel4:

Losing a parent is tough....and one you have shared many a blind or boat with or tromped brush for game is especially missed....I feel my dad and uncle with me often, especially in the quite stillness of a deer stand or standing alone in the marsh.....We are blessed when we have them...and we tend to pay special attention to making the same memories with our children when they have gone on.....

Sorry to hear of your loss.
