When Moosie started Hunt Talk in December 2000, I joined right away. I quickly realized the guys on Hunt Talk were my kind of guys. They hunted on their own, took their hunting seriously, and knew how to have fun. This month marks ten years I have been a member of this site and it caused me to reflect a bit.
Over the years, I have met a lot of great hunters here. I shake my head and continue to be amazed at the volume of trophy animals that are harvested by Hunt Talkers year in and year out. Simply put, you guys know how to get it done. You don’t know how to quit and push on when most others would throw in the towel. It has and continues to motivate me!
I also made a lot of friends. I prefer to hunt on my own, but the hunts and camps I have shared with guys from the site are some of the best I have been on. The humor, funny pictures, and vile smells are what I remember when I think back on those hunts. I hope I get to share camp with other Hunt Talkers in years to come.
I have acquired a ridiculous amount of hunting information from the guys on this site. It seems most everyone here is willing to share knowledge and general information on hunting areas. I learned early on there is a right way to ask for information and a wrong way. How I asked correlated directly with the quality of the information I received! I also knew not to take advantage of these guys and how to keep my mouth shut when they were willing to share their hard earned spots with me. I try to return the favor any chance I can.
I have been fortunate to hunt most of the western states since joining, each one being a new and unique adventure. I have walked away from some of these hunts mighty humbled. Other times I was able to harvest some great trophies. Whether I came home empty handed or with a bruiser, I enjoyed the experience and was able to share it with the guys on the site.
Since Randy took the reins, a good website became a great website. Following the live hunts are an absolute blast. Everyone is free to voice their opinions (as they were when Moosie ran the joint), and they do, which can be very entertaining. There have been many days I will am sitting in my office and laugh out loud at some of the humorous comments and pics that go up. Though there are many, the young guy who posted a pic of his deer with his buddy in the background taking a hit off of a bong is a classic that never gets old! If anyone saved that pic, post it up again.
I blame Hunt Talk for some very unproductive days at work!
I hope the good Lord gives me another ten years to visit Hunt Talk, enjoy life, hunt hard, and explore his creation. To everyone on this site, whether you have been here ten years or joined yesterday, I just want to say thank you. I have enjoyed the ride over the last ten years!!!
