    What a sweet story, Brian! Live this! He's a nice buck! That log is a special spot. Maybe make a sign and stick it near it with a little history 😁

  • Brian's avatar

    @Lisa my oldest son is going to get both the mount and the gun when I'm ready to pass it on to him.

  • Lisa's avatar

    Brian, lol, I hope you figured out that my previous message has a word, "neat," that SHOULD HAVE BEEN "near."πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ You understand, being an android user, this one bar that scrolls isn't as easy to edit. πŸ˜‰

  • Brian's avatar

    @Lisa I know, it drives me nuts once in awhile also.πŸ˜„

  • Lisa's avatar

    We are both "half way there" alreadyπŸ€£πŸ˜‚, so it's a short drive for me (notice I included you also, in the "half way there," in the "nuts" department πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ™ƒπŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰)

  • Brian's avatar

    @Lisa I am a little more than half way..πŸ€ͺπŸ€ͺπŸ€ͺπŸ€ͺ

  • Lisa's avatar

    Lol!🀣 ........🀫........we'll keep that a secret and see how many can figure it out🀣😜 As my Momma always says, "Stay true to yourself!"πŸ˜„

  • Brian's avatar

    @Lisa always have to listen to mommaπŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ€ͺ

    Amazing story and very blessed to have honored your father in that way. I inherited my grandfather 45.70 contender pistol it is a hand full but he always wanted to kill a big deer with it and passed before he was able to so now that is my goal for the next big deer I get a chance at

  • Clay's avatar

    I’m so sorry😭

  • T.J.'s avatar

    @Brian your story is what makes us who we all are ...

  • Milan's avatar

    Congratulations Brian, Your Dad would very proud of you!!

  • Brian's avatar

    @Michael I hope you get a great buck with it.

  • Brian's avatar

    @Milan he was my mentor for sure, I owe him a lot.

  • Brian's avatar

    @Gabriel I try to keep his spirit alive, my youngest son was only 2 when his grandfather passed so he doesn't remember him, but I have shared everything he taught me to him and make sure all my kids know who he was.

  • Brian's avatar

    @T.J. he was a true outdoorsman, he commercial fished, hunted and trapped for a living and passed his knowledge on to me so I could be self sufficient myself, and I followed in his footsteps for several years also.

  • Swamp's avatar

  • Brian's avatar
