Everyone has a person they look up to. For me, it was my Dad. I realize that He was just a man and only Human, but my father showed me who a man was supposed to be.

He had a way about him that few people have. He was as strong in character as He was in physical strength. I rarely ever heard him raise his voice. He would tell stories about the bad temper he had, but I very rarely seen him lose his cool.

When I was growing up, my friends used to bring their Bicycles over to my place for my dad to fix, and I never once heard him complain about it. When I got a little older He would take my brother and I Hunting for Grouse. My Dad would always give us first chance at the birds, and never got upset if we came home with nothing.

Later on when I became a Man. I decided that I wanted to try Deer hunting. After i was successful a couple times, I convinced my dad to give it a try. We had a really good time together. It didn't take long till we really looked forward to Hunting Season in the Fall. It was a time when we could spend together quietly and enjoy each others company. There was never any stress. It was a relaxing time to hunt and enjoy the world around us.

Unfortunately, in 2000 my Dad passed away from Cancer at the young age of 59. I miss him all the time, but the Times I miss him the most is when I'm hunting.

My Dad will always be My Favorite Hunting Partner
