We have lost quite a number of good old boys from our ranks, the last 10-15 years. A lot of guys that cashed in, provided a lot of content and humor to the Forum.

We should start a list, everyone can contribute to it, because there a many some of us never knew or passed before we signed on. Founder could start a Memorial category, where these names and some memories could remain there and be added to, as a way keep their memories alive.

Here is a very short list that come to mind for me. There are more but I can’t think of them now.

Let’s see some more gentlemen.

Add some stories, to go with them if you wish……. But let’s keep a simple list going with just their MM login names, for sure.
 
I've got an Idaho lifetime license. They can't send me to Utah!! :)

Every day I thank the stars that I'm still here, and having the pleasure of family and friends. made more clear this weekend when a friend 10 years younger had a heart attack, and they found 90% blockage of one artery. In town and quick response saved her!!
 
Blank, that's pretty cool about your son! I can't imagine trying to pack out an elk 10 miles on a bike!

I know a couple guys in Alaska that did a similar thing on a sheep hunt in a non-motorized area. They rode mtn bikes with trailers 25 miles into dall sheep country. Once to sheep country they packed in another 10 miles and harvested 2 super rams! That's pretty bad azz!

It's amazing to hear some of the crazy stories from some of our predecessor's that conducting hunts in the good ole days! Times have really changed.
 
Not Sure We Are Talking About The Same Roy?

But here's One Of His Threads:


The one with 76 photos? Maybe I’m retarded….
 
It is the hardest thing in life- losing friends, families and pets too. I've had a hard time with a couple friends who passed here on MM. Hoping they are enjoying their reunions with all their loved ones .
 
Yep, he was the one I couldn’t remember his name. Thanks T.

Good job boys. Thanks
 
How do you know they are going to Heaven? Hope they are! But there's a Hell too.
Good question Moe. In truth, I don’t know.

Additional, I don’t know if there is either a heaven or a hell………. but, I hope there is, I believe there is, and I have faith there is.

At my age, I don’t know one tenth of what thought I knew. Anymore I’m not sure I know for certain gravity is real.

So, I hope there’s a heaven and I hope they are there. Sorry for naming the post poorly.

Are we good now?
 
Rocketman??
I had a random run in with a friend of Rocketman earlier this spring. Was on a ZOOM call and this gentleman had a picture for his background that looked awful familiar. It was a high country 76 elk herd photo. I opened another screen to jump on MM. Searched up Rocketman and BOOM popped up a bunch of his old threads with photos. Short search and I found the picture Rockmans old friend was using. We went around the ZOOM room doing introductions and when it came to him I inquired about photo and "Rocket dog". He went straight faced and his eyes glossed over. He acknowledged with a smile of dismay. Sure as chit they were friends. I expressed our common interest with a mutual hunting forum along with my appreciation of his friends photos, old threads, and how he continues to be part of conversations.


 
Younger guy that died in a car wreck in Idaho…..what was his name?….I think his brother is still around here….

If you check out the bottom link, I think rocketman's name was Roy.

We're absolutely good. Just a question is all. Kinda a serious one if it has to do with eternity. I know gravity is real. My moobs tell me so.
 
Same thing for me Bessy.


Some Hacker kept saying he was Brain and wanted me to help him out with a $300 Gift card.


I was polite just in case, but never did it.

My brother (Frijoles). He wasn't on this site much, but he did contribute some.
That's him and I in my avatar.

I forgot about Forthewall. The only other sculler here besides me (that I know of). I raise my oar to him.
After we get a good list of names, we’re going to ask MM members to share some of the stories they have about those who have gone before us………. their legacy is beyond being included in a list of names. Their stories are the real recognition they earned here.

Reminds me of a line in a Blood sweat and tears song.......

"I know there ain't no Heaven and I pray there ain't no Hell."
 
My condolences. I did not know he passed. I talked to him a few days before he killed that bull. At least I think it’s the same bull I’m thinking of.
I was busy at work and couldn’t make it to hunting camp until the evening before opening day. I found that bull right before dark and took my brother back there at daylight. He made a great 550 yard shot and then the work started. Definitely one of many special memories with my best hunting buddy.
 
Awesome!
He actually asked me if I’d seen any big bulls around and I told him of 2.
I’m pretty sure that was one of them.
 
This post exemplifies why hunters should take full advantage of each day in life and why it is so important to enjoy family and friends like it's your last! It also is important to reflect on past year's experiences shared in the great outdoors. I think adding photos, pictures, and stories of past contributors to this website is a great idea.

We often get so caught up with work and the stress in our daily lives. Life and death is a wakeup call to what is truly important. It is so amazing to have the opportunity to hunt and share experiences in such awesome country with those that are so special to us! We all have at least 2 things in common on this website.....we all are passionate and love the outdoors,,,,, and monstermuleys!
 
I called a friend of mine about a year ago and asked him if he had heard that a friend of ours had died. He said yes, he heard. Then he said something I'll never forget. He said he's been thinking about it, and he thinks he knows more dead people than people who are alive.

I tried not to think about it much, but I guess that happens the older you get.

Need to get out of that nursing home and go meet some new friends at your local tit bar!
