Nice write up, I'm with ya. Mine didn't hunt, be he helped recover my first deer, and my first buck. And blessed me by saying after my first kill, "you might not ever kill another one again" hahahahahah! I miss him all the time too and often think of him while hunting. I'm very jealous that you got to share that with yours. Be very thankful....
Outstanding Don!! :smiley_clap: It's moments like that, that make the woods a very special place. Well done.
Another nice thing about the squirrels is I'll be using parts of them for coyote bait this trapping season so when I set the traps and catch a yote or two I can add another memory to the story.

Great stuff buddy! I'm blessed to still have my grandad and even though he can no longer hunt he is the one who kept the fire burning in my family and he is the 1st person that my kids run to when they are successful in the field! I cherish evey moment!!!

The memories you guys have with your grandpas should be kept with you for ever. Both of my grandpas passed away before I was born. All I have from my Mother's dad is a Stevens Favorite rifle that was in 25 Rimfire. I had the rifle rebuilt into a 22LR and gave it so my son. He gave the rifle to my grandson.
Thanks for sharing Don. To me, this is what it's all about. The passing down of a legacy that cant be explained to "outsiders" that don't appreciate the finer points of our past. Im glad you shared this and I cant wait to pass it on to my son

That was so well written from heart to paper Don! Great tribute to your grandpa! Thanks for sharing and that pic is a shoe in for the harvest video IMO! Awesome stuff buddy!
Great stuff right there!!! Got a single shot winchester 16 ga from my grandpa that i take on a hunt for rabbits or squirrels every year or so for fun.
