Where were you on 9/11 hunters? for book project
Greetings from Colorado
I am working on a book project called " Where were you on 9/11" this project will share stories and personal experiences of hunters in the field, and those fishing
I am currently working on a book project g and finding out how the world changed in a matter of a few hours back in New York City. Where were you, what were you doing and how did you react when you heard the terrible news when you returned from the field or waters?
There is no compensation for your submission, but lets tell the world we as hunters and fishing people that we were just as shocked as the rest of America. I would appreciate any help you can provide.
Please send submissions to:

I was driving to work @ the time listening on the radio. All day at work we all pretty much huddled around the radios and kept them playing all through the day. Figured the best we could do was to keep on working

It was my birthday. I was drivin' to work when I heard the news. I stopped to git breakfast, an' nobody knew in the resteraunt. There was a mexican radio station playin' in the kitchen, but the cook wouldn' t change the station. Nobody believed me. We ate at a resort that night, only one other couple in the place. Somber day.

I was about to leave Little Rock, AR, and drive to Colorado to hunt Mulies. While hunting, we were obviously concerned and anxious to find out what was going on. While hunting, it made me appreciate all I have and enjoy the beauty around me.

RE: Where were you on 9/11 hunters? for book project
Yes, my son will never forget that day. We were in Maine on his very first big game hunt in persuit of black bear. He was lucky enough that morning to take a 285 pound sow. Talk about mixed emotions. My son had just killed his first bear, and then hearing of the towers. Later that day we found out that flight 94 went down in Somerset PA, only 30 miles from our home. A couple of days later CBS reported that they thought that some of the terrorist had entered the country through Jackman Maine. Wow,,,,, that' s where we were! My son was eleven at the time, and I don' t think he' ll ever forget that one.

Greetings from Colorado,
Thank you for sharing your story, you have the makings of adding a nice section to help with this book, I was wondering, can you add to what you have shared with me, I am looking for a page or two of how did the 9/11 effect your hunting? What did you run into as you met people along the way, at gas stations, listening to eople talk as maybe you ate at MacDonalds? What did you guys do as you drove out to Colorado? Listen to the radio, talk about it? When you first saw and heard about the attacks, what did you do? Call people, get angry, want revenge..and if you have some pictures of the hunt, that would help put a name to a face, anything you can send would be very helpful, please send info and pictures to:
