Fondest outdoor memory with your dad

My dad is up in Heaven, but he taught me well to respect the outdoors. I'll always remember having butterflies the night before going fishing with him. He always took me fishing no matter how many times I would tangle the line in my spinning reel. When I wasn't catching he would pass over a rod with a fish on except when it was big lol

When he called in my first turkey

I was 8 or 9, fishing our 2 acre farm pond that my Pow Pow had built, had a 5 pounder crush a rubber frog. My first bass to even sniff the 5 lb mark. One of the biggest bass to ever come out of that pond, still hanging on the wall. Not sure if I or my dad was the most excited.

Watching my dad boil crawfish while he let me play with a live one. God I miss my dad!

Going crabbing down in Cocodrie. Good times man. Glad he's still around. We play alot of golf together nowadays. Taking him fishing in Florida soon. He's always wanted to go so Ima surprise him with a guided trip, renting a nice cabin, the whole nine. It will still never repay him for what he's done for me.

Shooting a limit of woodcock with my brother and dad the morning after LSU beat Illinois in the Sugar Bowl; watching those shorthairs in the LA snow that morning was a thing of beauty.

Canoeing on the St Marys River, hunting ducks and squirrels.
Riding the woods in an old Willys Jeep pickup.
Shooting hundreds of rounds through a Smith and Wesson Model 66.
Couldn't pick just one

When my dad handed me an axe for the first time... I was 11.
He smiled and said "get to work"

I love spending time with my dad. I enjoy the truck rides to our hunting/fishing expeditions better than the actual event. I enjoy talking and sharing things with each other and just being able to spend time with hin. We tell each other every day "i love you" and im 31yrs old.. I will tell him i love you until the day we are gone.

Watching him sit on the back of the truck with his cup of coffee and 410 double barrel in hand listening to our beagles run rabbits. He didn't care about shooting anything at that point just about listening to the dogs. When one of us boys would shoot at a rabbit and miss he would let out the loudest bellowing laugh. I've been blessed to have such a great man in my life. He's taught me everything ii know about the outdoors and how to be a good man in general. I love you dad

Too many to choose from:
First deer kill with him in the stand
First bow kill with him in a tree a few hundred yards away. My first bow kill was before his first bow kill. I was 14 and it was awesome!!
Him teaching me to drive on hunting trips at 11.
The time he ran us under a tree top on the Ouachita River and he came face to face with a moccasin and it fell in the boat.
The time we caught a huge wave on Bussey and sunk the boat at the Wind Row.
Really, every single outing with him has been enjoyable and greatly appreciated.
I booked a hunt in Kentucky for us this year and can't wait to spend a few days with him on that trip.

Emptying the nets on my grandfather's trawler as a kid with dad, brother, cousins, uncles and grandfather.

Wow to many to list but Camping on the Pearl and Bogue Chitto rivers and mud ridding behind our house are a couple that I will never forget.

Lost our hunting lease. Mad and frustrated we asked a lady my dad worked with to let us hunt what was basically her back yard next to a small river about a mile out of town. She was very nice about it but we wern't expecting to a deer at all.
We killed 5 deer and two 8 points that season.

No one particular memory...all the fishing and hunting we did. All the gut wrenching, blister busting , character building slave labor farm work he had me do...

This thread gives me the feels. About to call my daddy up.
Posted on 6/13/14 at 8:29 am to lsuson
I don't really remember too much about it, but I guess my most appreciative moment would have to be when he put a rope around my boots and spurs, got back on his horse, pulled me out of the mud to our wash rack, hosed me off, gave me mouth to mouth and beat the shite out of my heart. Onlookers said it was a pretty exciting time at the Geauxt pen. Undoubtedly, I started breathing and beating?
