I joined the original board right at about post #500. Now I am member #43. Bill & Klunkermeister were here by then. Don't know the date, likely 1995. Lots of great guys and great information. I remember the Greek dude. I took him after chukar at the 3 forks of the Owyhee. We got to the drop off and hunted the rimrock from the top so no chasing chukars up hill. I went West, he went East and it sounded like Armageddon to the East. I shot 5 times and got 2 Chucks and a quail. He went through maybe 3 boxes and I thought we would be cleaning forever, but he came back with NO birds. Geez. I've never known anyone could be such a bad shot. He bought a blank from me then returned it. I sent him 3 blanks from which to choose and he kept them all (paid for only the original) and then I found out he screwed the stockmaker out of three more blanks and never paid for them. Luckily the only low life I have met in hunting or business.
Wonko the Sane was there fairly early on but went by another moniker I forget. Picked on him a lot but he is really OK. Frisko area guy makes the Reno show now and then.
Remeber Ol Tex who was a Mod 37 Ithaca lover? He decided to brew/distill his own whiskey and checked to see what an uncut barrel looked like through the bung with a match. Real bad idea, but he posted afterwards (stating it was a real bad idea). Didn't hear any more from him but he was a funny guy.
Really miss Russ & Oscar.
