A sheep hunter is born

joebuck · Dec 5, 2002

At 8:37 on Dec.5,2002 Erik David Giesbrecht was born in Kamloops British Columbia. He is my first son. It was a difficult birth due to the fact the boy was wearing a Kifaru pack and Meindl boots, but I shouted "ram on the skyline!" and out he popped.

Geoff, congrats again. Looks like your going to be packing out a lot of meat in years to come. Soon it will be our kids competing for the same hidey hole. LOL!

We had our first baby (a boy) last summer in June. He is now 8 months old. What a joy. I've got a Dall on a pedestal mount in our den, the head is about 5' 10" high. Lately, every time I hold him and we walk by it, my son has the biggest grin on his face and wants to touch the ram. Makes dad feel good. Hopefully he'll have the chance to touch many rams, from dads hunts and eventually his. Everybody should support FNAWS>!!

I guess I'm a little older than most of you. My son got his first sheep this fall, a 175 Desert ram. That exprerience had to rank right up there with when he was born, and when he won his first olympic trials. You have a lot to look forward to. There is nothing more rewarding than hunting with your son.

Congrats, and good luck.

Congrats TMAN and yes Shooter3 you are right, there is nothing like hunting with your son, especially the first big game hunt. I was fortunate to take my 10 year old to WY last year, what a rush............ Allen Taylor......
