Greetings from Colorado, USA

[iamyourhuckleberry]

G'day Gents,

I'd like to take a second to introduce myself. My name is Will Nelson, and I'm a yank from the great state Of Colorado. I look forward to meeting you all. Hopefully, I'll have something to contribute to your forum. I've put a link to some of my photos in the March photo thread. I hope this gives everyone an idea of who I am. I love to hunt! I love to travel! And I love meeting like minds!

A very warm welcome to you Will. Looks like you have come to the right place to find some like minded people and it will be great to share in some of your stories from over there. I looked through your album and it is unreal. You really have travelled and taken a heap of game. I see you haven't made it to Australia to hunt what we have. Maybe you will after seeing what we have on offer.

[Treker]

Welcome to the forum Will. Looks like you have been to some great places and had many successful hunts. I enjoyed your pictures.

[Clemo]

Great pictures, looks like you have been to some amazing places indeed. :D

[XTfreak]

Welcome.
Enjoy...
Bill

welcome will nelson or is it willie:D

[johnno]

:PWelcome Willie...I think I have a few of your songs and you look much younger since you cut off the plaits !!:P

[iamyourhuckleberry]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I see another US boy has found his way here. Kevin, what part of Texas? I hope to retire there someday (winter months anyway). "Willie"...yeah I know. I'm jokingly teased about it all the time. My college mates included Stevie Miller and Donna Summers-no kidding!
We won a lot of drinks at the bars.

It may take me awhile to get to know everyone, but I really look forward to meeting y'all. I really want to learn as much about Australia as I can. I have found there's no better way to educate yourself than to hang with the locals. I hope you gents don't mind me sitting in on some of your stories?

I'm heading back over there in June for more of the same. I will try to keep a journal for this trip as well. Hopefully, the hunt and the stories will be just as much fun.

Enjoy, Cheers!

Hi Will, welcome to the forum, spent a few weeks in your neck of the woods in 1994 (Boulder U of C) love those mountains. :)

[spiderbait24]

WELCOME WELCOME!

[rudy]

How ya goin mate? welcome to our site, hope its of great interest to you.
I have a brother in the states, he's in Wyoming, but he only hunts with the rifle, guess i cant hold that against him.

[ricochet]

Great fan of Willie i am, oops wrong willie,:P. anyway welcome to the site, some great photos you have in your albums there Will,hope to see and read some more from you.


Cheers,
Rick:)

[iamyourhuckleberry]

Thanks again everyone!

Kevin, I think I've been through Menard on my way to Uvalde. I've hunted in Campwood, Hondo, Uvalde, Gonzales and Wimberley. I like Wimberley a lot. I think I'm going to retire there. I've also been on the King Ranch down near Corpus Cristi. Have You ever been to my neck of the woods? If not, you should think about it...

Danceswithdingos,

I attended U of C (graduated in '84). I still work in Boulder and have a second home right behind the flatirons. I love the mountains too. However, I married a city girl and was forced down to the plains. You know, when momma isn't happy, nobody's happy...

Ruby,

Your brother isn't too far away. Those Wyoming boyz are a tough lot. They have a saying up there..."Wyoming, where men are men and women are men too". Based upon that, if your brother wants to hunt with a rifle instead of a bow, I'm going to let him. LOL, I like my teeth! What part of Wyoming?

Rick,

Can do...I try to write as much about hunting as I can (I'm more of a learner though). Writing is not my strong suit...but I try!

Cheers!

[jindydiver]

g'day Will.

I like your story albums :D You sure do get amongst them :D

[rudy]

Will, i think my brother my brother is at Little Jennie Ranch near Jackson Hole. His wife is will be in Australia next month so i should be able to find out a bit more.
When he first went over there, he went as a whip maker, then picked up a lot of different work on ranches, truck driving, worked in a gas station, even had a job with his team of pack mules packing out elk and other deer for hunters, the next season after that he had a job as a shooters guide.
The only thing he didn't like was 9 months of Winter and 3 months of cold weather.

[macka]

welcome aboard mate. You have some ripper stories and photo's there. And a real variety of game taken. look forard to seeing a few more pics in the future.

Macka

[iamyourhuckleberry]

LOL Rudy,

It's a very pretty hell up there! Wyoming was the first state to allow women the right to vote. They did it to entice women into the state. The entire state has 500,000 people. That's 1/12th the population of Colorado and 1/56th the population of California. Jackson hole is an awesome place though.

Macka,

Thanks mate! I'll do my best with the future stories and photos.

Mick,

Thank you, the closer the better I guess. I wouldn't have it any other way.

[danceswithdingoes]

They have a saying up there..."Wyoming, where men are men and women are men too"
That explains "BrokeBack Mountain" :lol:
