Title: A very special gift from Ron La Clair
Post by: lpcjon2 on March 21, 2011, 10:04:00 AM
A few month ago I posted a thread about how my son Tucker and I watch Ron's videos on You tube, and how he has been an inspiration to Tucker and a definite driving force of motivation with his Trad shooting. Well Ron and I exchanged a few emails and he wanted to send something for Tucker's 10th birthday being he would be getting his hunting license when he turned 10.


Well Tucker got a package in the mail from Ron and inside was the most incredible gift a new hunter could ever get(made me jealous).It was a piece of coyote fur, but wrapped inside was one of Ron's personally used shrew knives with an autographed sheath.And to add to it was an autographed copy of Masters of the Barebow vol.1(now I was really jealous).

Tuckers was in such amazement that he looked at it wide eyed for like 2 minutes.Ron surely touched Tucker for the rest of his life.Every time Tucker goes afield he will carry Ron's legacy with him.Thank you for the inspiration and kindness you have given to Tucker.You are a true HERO and mentor.Tim

Never had the honor or privilege of meeting Ron, but I know he was super nice to my mom last year around Christmas when she called and woke him up to order me a wool hunting shirt. Ron is a great guy & would love someday to meet him.

Thanks guys and gals but this isn't about me, it's about Tucker. A young boy that wants to hunt with his dad. I didn't do anything that any number of you wouldn't do. When we see a youngster with a spark in them for the outdoors and hunting we do what we can to help fan that spark into a flame.

Tucker's lucky that he has a dad that will take the time to encourage him and is as excited as he is for them to hunt together. We need more Dads like Tim.

Way to go Ron, you have touched that young man and left a lasting impression.
The gift, and spirit in which it was given personifies the spirit, and the foundation of our sport.
Thank you.
