Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting Legends I've met.

Here ya go, Rickshaw.............

I was thinking I had this somewhere. Just had to do some looking.

Was in the Marines with the guy that makes Bud and Betty calls. He's in SC now, but originally from Arkansas. He's a legend....even if it's only in his own mind.

He (back then, it was still "they", I guess) did win some NWTF awards for his calls 15-20 years ago. I bought an Earl Mickel book from him. That's about all the further I actually KNOW him...........

That's awesome!!!! Thanks for posting. Dude was a trip!

I wish I could remember what it was I said to him to get that pose.............or what hand/finger gesture I may have made at him.

He was a doof, indeed.

in his own mind.....

At least Big Stick wasn't an NWTF coffee bOy....

Don't be butthurt, Luther.

Obviously, not everyone is cut out to be an ambassador for the sport to the general public.............

Wifey says I’m a legend in my own mind.

I met the guy that is the voice of squidward on spongebob square pants.

👍👍👍

One of the cool fringe benefits of being a lowly "booth boy" as our beloved, resident, mouth likes to call me, is the people OUTSIDE the industry you come in contact with. Over the years when I was "booth boy-ing"............ I got to meet Jeff Foxworthy. Other than being a gazillionaire, he's about as normal a country hick as me or anyone else you know. I got to meet Charlton Heston. Even in his later years, when he was becoming fragile, he had a presence about him that TOTALLY AWED ME !!!! And I ain't easily impressed. Got to meet Uncle Ted Nugent a couple times. Hung out with him at his hotel for an hour or two the one time. Ted the man and Ted the stage persona are two ENTIRELY different people. He is the fastest mind you will EVER have a conversation with. He's actually called my older daughter on the phone and had a fairly lengthy conversation with her. AND............ I got to have lunch with the late 4-star General Norman Schwarzkopf. A total honor !!!

The ability to separate "Bob I see on TV" with "Bob I know at McDonalds over coffee" is really hard for a lot of people. Often they're not the same and too many assume TV Bob would be the same as coffee Bob. IME - rarely is that the case.

So you an Uncle Ted got intimate in his hotel roOm

Watch it, LFC is starting to get turned on.

sounds like he is jealous of you talking to somebody other than him

One day at a racquet ball court this guy asked if I wanted to play. Said yes, and we played 3 or 4 games. He was new at the game and I beat him. He then asked if we could play again and I said sure. He was cut built and athletic. The next time I started to think where do I know this guy? Beat him again and he asked to play again. Eventually his name clicked and I knew who he was. Short story was he kept getting better quick and eventually beat me. He said "Finally, how about a beer to celebrate?"

So we had a couple and talked some. He finally asked, "Do you know who I am?" I replied yes. Then he mentioned, "I go out to dinner or on the town, and often wish I could just relax without people coming up to me. And after you said nothing for a month or so, it resulted in something different. I was worrying that I wasn't that well known." I said, I figured if you wanted to let me know you would have mentioned it. He just shook his head and laughed.

The guy was a well known starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I've met a fair number of guys from 24hourcampfire, Good guys all!!

So, you've never met LFC, then................

And, THIS, folks.................is why first cousins shouldn't marry.

The laughing stock of the turkey forum............. The laughing stock of the turkey callmaker world............. And, NO DOUBT the laughing stock of his own family. Yet he doesn't see the hole he's standing in. He JUST KEEPS A DIGGIN".............
