New to HT and a Big fan of Randy.
His wisdom and drive give this 61 yr. Old some hope.
Dream hunt is a Rocky Mtn. Goat. Have alot of getting into shape prior. May never materialize if I cant get this old back right.
I decided this year to start filming my hunts so my family has some memories of me doing what is/was my passion...
My father left us over 10 yrs ago and was the one who gave me the gift of hunting. At 5 yrs. old I had to lean how to write my name for my first KY hunting license.
We owned a sporting goods store for 25 yrs outside Columbus Ohio in a little hamlet called Gahanna and I hunted every opportunity I had. If I wasnt in the woods during the day chasing deer I was wandering vast timber chasing masked bandits at night loving the lonesome bawls of my gal Sally running a hot trail. My best Ohio deer was a 190 typical 8 point monarch.
Fast forward... After several moves...
Many years later in GA. I was bit by the Saltwater fishing bug and laid down all my smokepoles for rod and reel. It was tough to do both but the water called me back then. I havnt been in the woods for 25 yrs and now back issues have kept me off the water permanently. Could take the beating any longer. Last season I had a stirring in my soul to once again step into Gods greatest tabernacle..
The woods bring me peace and solitude that can only be found there. Im a spot and stalk hunter, always have been and because of the back, slow and still hunting works. Im a Ghillie hunter now and am looking forward to the next chapter in the Diary of a Ghillieman.
Thanks for having me.
