Passing of an "unknown " turkey hunter
« on: March 18, 2012, 08:21:56 PM »
This past week, a great " unknown " turkey hunter passed away. His name was Harlan Mitchell. He was 83 years old. He never won a turkey calling contest or appeared in any magazines but I would bet he could hold his own with many of the best turkey hunters who ever lived. He was a great guy and I am proud to have called him my friend.

Sorry for your loss, you clearly carried a lot of respect for him and I am sure Harlan touched many lives a long his journey.  Sure he'll in be in your mind and heart when you enter the turkey woods this season.

bambam may your good friend rest in piece as he sounds like a man anyone would have been proud to know and share a turkey camp with...
