This is just an idea, but thought you guys could make some kind of post in rememberance of him & have Micah make it sticky. Like the pics yall are posting & hunting stories & such. Just a thought. Sounds like a great guy that loved what we all love, just fell on hard times.

My prayers are with Allison and his family. Will John was one of the first that I met off of this site at a West MS hunt test at Mahanna several years ago.

I remember throwing birds at a hunt test at Mahanna and I heard a strange sounding whistle. I didn't think much about it until later when we were all goofing off and I heard the whistle again and it was the Chocolate Seal doing his unique whiste w/o a whistle. Those of you that have heard it know what I'm talking about.

I have so many fond memories about Will John Martin III along with others off this site.

Rest in peace brother.

Does anyone have a picture of Sporty?

I can easily create a sticky with pics of long time members who have passed away. I know of Webfoot, Sportsman 450, and Choc Seal. I hope I am not forgetting anyone.

During the X-mas break I was up in CHyenne, WY (Visiting wife's family..I know right during Duck season) and one of our hunting buddies "Killar" Carl invited a friend from work and the friend's brother inlaw who was from out of town to hunt with him. After they set up and shot a couple birds the friend from work said he felt Dizzy. A few minutes latter He was dead. HAd a massive Heart Attack. They rushed him to the bank gave CRP but it was too late. He died right there in the boat.

I don't know his name but I will try and find out.
