LAST EDITED ON Dec-03-10 AT 05:27PM (MST)[p]Happy Birthday Thomas.

You turn 18 on Saturday.
You have been the joy of my life.

Together, we have done so much.
You've hung in there by my side when the elements were difficult and have overcome so many situations where you could have quit.
You never complained about being cold, tired or hungry.
I've never longed for anyone else to share the outdoors with.
It's been an honor being your Dad.

Watching you grow into a man, you have learned the lessons of a sportsman so well.
You've earned your place among men fair and square.
We have something that can never be taken away.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I hope that I've been as good a dad as you've been a son.

I LOVE YOU.

Dad.

Thank you for all of the memories Thomas, I'll cherish them forever.....

Harry, that is awesome. I feel the same way about my son. What is better than sharing the outdoors with your kids.
Your son has 5 years on mine, hope the next 5 years are as good as the last 5 you have had with your son.

You did a great job as a Father and have raised a great Son.
Nothing left to say.

Obviously you've been an excellent father. This post makes me appreciate my own Dad for making sure I got to get out hunting and fishing every year. Prolly should tell him that someday soon..............

Very cool post and pics. You should both be proud.

 

[nvguy2]

WOW. Awesome post. Thanks for sharing.

 

[HunterHarry]

Thank you all for the kind words.
We spent Thomas's 18th birthay doing what he loves, hunting coyotes on a friend's ranch.

Wind made things a tad difficult as far as calling, but 2 big males & a female made for nice birthday presents over the weekend.

A big ribeye dinner and a birthday cake followed, making for a very nice weekend.

There is nothing in this world that comes close to a fathers love for his son...My son Tanner turned 9 this year and was able to kill his first 4 point on our families ranch in NE Oregon. I thank the good Lord everyday for bringing him to me and for all the years he has been right by my side, either hunting or just sitting and talking about huntin!

Happy Birthday Thomas ~

LAST EDITED ON Dec-10-10 AT 08:14AM (MST)[p]Im jealous! I cant wait to get a hunting buddy. Congrats on getting him so involved and for documenting it. Its a shame but if all dads took that much time with their kids in the outdoors the world would be a lot better place to live.(Just tougher to get tags

Happy Birthday dude!
