Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How many on 24CF Miss their dad?

I was reading a lot of comments about being happy in life and several mentioned missing their dad. I lost mine on Veterans Day 2007. My mom passed away suddenly in 2004. I spent almost every day with my dad after that happened. I booked a mule deer & antelope hunt for my dad & I out west. We hunted mule deer with an outfitter in Craig Colorado. Dad got a dandy buck on the 3rd. day and then it was off to Wyoming for antelope. Dad missed a few but got a small buck later on the first day. We headed for home November 1st. and made it back on the 3rd. On November 7th., dad was hauling firewood to his woodbox next to his fireplace when he tripped & fell striking his head on the piece of firewood he was holding. Long story short, he developed a brain bleed, had surgery, but never woke up afterward. Hard to believe that after we got home from a once in a lifetime hunting trip, he was gone, eight days shy of his 80th. birthday. I think of him & mom every day.

Mine is going to be here in 17 mins to run me down to the Firestone to pick up one of the crown vics.

Hope he’s running late. I got sweet corn diarrhea. Holy fugk

Dad in 2002. Mom in 2004. Only brother in 2021. Miss my parents everyday in some way or another.

Forty+ years ago I used to mix a can of whatever chili was on sale with a can of corn and have "chili corn". Ate both cans worth in one sitting. Talk about eat now, pay later.

Not I.

Not me

To the original question, yes, I do miss Pop. I have no trouble at all imagining what his attitude would be toward the current political situation.

Most certainly miss both of my parents.

I miss dad a lot. He drug me to the river several times a week to go fishing, and hunting and checking traps.
He died at 70 yrs of a heart attack while showing me how to use his old cross country skis he used as a winter-keeper in Yellowstone Park. That was tough to take!!

Dad passed Dec. 10, 1996 from the affects of Lou Gehrigs Disease. He was the best. Love and miss you Dad.

Yes, passed 06/09/22. RIP Pop. Put his ashes in a local stream he liked to fish.
My wishes are for my ashes to be put in the same.

Yes. My dad died in 1965 at the age of 65, of a stroke. My mom at 72 in 1981. I still miss them both. They were fine parents.

L.W.

My Dad died 15 yrs ago. Dad you were the best!!!!!!!!!!!! Love You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dads been gone for 2.5 years now. I dont think he would have handled the Covid lock down very well. He sure as hell would not be pleased with the current cost of reloading supplies. Dad shot a lot. Someday will spread his ashes at the local gun club were he spent most of his time


Would love to take him elk hunting just one more time
