Very well written, I agree. Better yet, the author, Thomas Downing, posts here regularly — he’s one of us — and I believe this was his first magazine article ever (it’s in in the last issue of TBM). Good work, Mr. Downing! Let’s see some more of the same.

Chiloquin,
That was a great article, in fact I found that whole issue just raised the bar again to a higher level. I could not put it down; thanks guys. Now hope no one gets a swelled head, and no I don’t work for them, but it really is a good magazine.

Thanks fellas for the kind words. I am humbled…If it weren’t for good ol Dave Petersen, I might never had written about the hunt. He encouraged me to do so and my loyalty to our friendship forced me to write it. The hunt was one I will never forget. God Bless, T Downing

Great story, Thomas. Congratulations for your first published article. Wish you many more!
Alex

Excellent Article, Thomas. Made you feel like you were right there!
