My best friend and hunting partner lost his battle with a heart valve infection this morning .
Him and I spent countless days hunting and fishing together for many years . We would do lunch with what he called " critter dejour " which would consist of a rabbit or squirrel that would get roasted on a small fire . :campfire:
He will be missed .
I am very sorry to hear that. Whishing you and the family all the strength. Life is hard sometimes, but cherish all the good moments you had together.

About 20 years ago my friend Mike and I were out hunting rabbits with muzzle loading shotguns and we were walking threw a frozen swamp when I said to him " if I remember rite there is a creek that runs threw here some place ". Which he responded a few seconds later " FOUND IT ! ". He was up to his shoulders in ice and water . He handed me his shotgun and then I laid on my stomach and pulled him out . We then hurried to a small high spot where I built a fire as quickly as I could and he striped down to his what ever and was turning like a vertical rotisserie . After a few minuets I started laughing . And he asked what was so funny ? I said " you are smoking " . He then started laughing too and said that the fire felt better than the ice water . After about an hour his cloth were dry enough that he put them back on and we hunted the rest of the day .
That is just one of the interesting days we had and by the way it was him that got me carrying a heat tab with me every time I was out in the woods . We were both glad that I had one that day because you can get a fire going very fast with one of those .
Thanks Trad Gang for your kind support .
God bless you all . Dale :campfire: :archer:

I am sorry.
So sorry for your loss a good hunting buddy is a true gift. I have made more close friends with traditional archery than any other hobby I I have had. I haven't lost any of them yet but we are getting older! My heart and prayers go out to you I am sure you feel like a part of you died too. God Bless!
Well he was the only hunting buddy that I have had for the past 20+ years , Our other one moved to Colorado and we lost touch with him .
I will still be hunting and I am sure that I will get reminded of him quite frequently when I am out in the woods . I will probably have to poke a stick in a fire once in a while for him .
Bummer. Definately sorry to hear about your loss. Memories keep him alive from with in..
I don't have any specific memories of Mike, only of playing with his kids in our backyard when he would come over to go hunting with you. I do recall Mike was always a happy guy.
I've been told that if you can make it through life with one true friend you are blessed. Mike was a true friend to you and you are better for having him in your life.
It is so sad that Mike had to leave us so soon, but we know he is at peace and no longer sick. Cherish the times you had, for you were truly blessed to have such a good friend.
Sorry for your loss.
In times like this sorry just doesn't seem to be enough. However what else can be said? I too am sorry for your loss.
God bless you and comfort you and also comfort Mikes family and friends.
I pray that God supplys you with another great friend and new memories to add to those you now have with Mike.
God bless you, Steve
