Well, got a phone call last night. After putting some more plans into our trip, my grandma called (On my mom's side. she was married to my grandpa matt, who died) and said that tomorrow she would drop by the school and would drop off something for me from grandpa matt. When I got it yesterday, she said she had a feeling she should look through a box of papers in the basement. She found a paper for me from grandpa when I was born. It read: "Today, my first grandson was born. I hope that the LORD will guide him in his ways, teach him what the world needs, instill in him a love for animals and the outdoors, and a respect that only so few can gain. "

"Alex (That's Me :D), I hope that you can instill in yourself the proper ethics. I hope that when you may some day go hunting for ewlk with your father, that you two may have a whale of a time. You may be only a few hours old, but I can see it in your eyes that you will be a force to be reckoned with, and you will take after many in our family, and get a bad case of buck fever! I have never been able to sneak up on a majestic elk, but you will, and when you do, remember me, and do what you think is right, wether it be a picture, or a shot. A trophy doesn't always have the biggest antlers, or any antlers at all, so be proud. I'll always be there cheering you on!"

Love, Your grandpa Matt.

I thought it was a coincidence, since we were getting ready for our elk hunting trip, where we will be whitetail hunting too. His two favourite game animals.

Grandpa, Here's to you, one of the greatest hunters I knew of, and I wish that you could come and watch me on this trip. Even if I would have had to Hi-Jack an old folks home and push you in a wheelchair to get you your first elk, I would have, but now You will never fill your own elk tag, so I'll fill mine for you! When the day comes that I leave this earth, we'll go chase the elk up there in heaven, with your ol' trusty .303, and bring along all your old hunting buddies. I wish you were here again, but I pray that you wil keep a watch on me, oh, and watch out up there, dad may start some bad shooting.... you may get hit if youre not careful ;)

Very nice ACS. I'm sure he is very proud of you.
I think he was trying to tell you that a great hunt is maybe better then any trophy and the time you spend hunting is well spent.

D'oh!!!!!!! lol.


A spike taken by me and my bow is a better trophy than a 160 inch whitetail with a rifle.

Maybe so, but it sure doesn't look as good hanging on the wall. :wink:
