Just when I thought the world was going to...

[str8shooter]

This past weeked, our local Gander Mountain store put on a seminar called Turkey University. Sales Reps were in attendance from several call companies to one selling a gun safe. I sat in on a general hour long presentation but focusing on proper use of a slate call. The subject of hunting grounds came up with dialogue on state land. I offered I was totally prepared to hunt a nearby section of state land but was planning to do so during the week to avoid the onslaught of hunters from the city. I was utilizing the store's electric shopping cart, my disabled condition apparent, which prompted a land owner sitting behind me to offer me the use of his land, ATV, and his turkey calling services to insure my success this Spring. It seems he spent many satisfying hours calling several birds in for his now late Father-in-Law. I gotta tell you folks, I was and still am touched by this gentleman's kind offer. What this amounts to is a free guided Turkey Hunt. Life can make me so cynical most times; and then a total stranger has me stop and re-evaluate the human condition. I don't know how many will read this post; and thanks for letting me share this with you. Please do me a service. I would Like ALL those who do to respond with as brief or as long a message that you'd like....but something. I would like to be able to make this guy feel as good as he has made me feel by telling him of all the responses I received after this posting. Thanks

I am never surprised as to the kindness and humanity we often share. I try and make it a point to help at least one person a day. I love just going to the supermarket parking lot and helping some little old lady having trouble stacking her trunk with supplies. Str8shooter you were just one of many that was shown just how kind we so called killers are. Congrats on your new friend . I really sounds like you two could be come life long friends.
