I sure did like Josey's stories, especially the one about him killing the hog with a knife, even though he had a gun right by his side.

That was during his Skinit days circa 2004 or so. He bought a horse for a short period of time and took it big hunting a few times. JD never missed a meal growing up and often shopped in the husky department, but he was as soft as a big teddy bear. He avoided confrontation like the plague and just wanted everyone to enjoy themselves. Hell, we were at a different camp one night years ago and didn't turn the heat one when we came in drunk. I woke up to go hunting in his spoon after another hunting companion accused us of being queers. Thank god that was before iPhones!! He did throw a few haymakers in the beak of his horse on a hog hunt one time for stopping when the action was getting good, however. It was like a grizzly bear slapping a horse and he cursed that horse the rest of the weekend.

That horse was sold a few days later, btw.

That horse wasn't meant for hunting, evidently.

Here is another gret pic 4. I was mowing that plot last weekend and said some prayers and was planning a youth hunt for EJW jr. Perhaps you can come and you and he could hunt that stand together........although you know my vote will be to bring my sons 7mm-08 instead of the .243

Great thread for a great man!
