Met a celebrity while hunting!
I was hunting in my ole stompin' grounds today and I was heading back to camp when an old white suburban w/ VT plates was coming the opposite direction. I didnt think anything of it so I pulled to the side to let him by as he came close to me a hand signaled to me to role down the window. I did and there I was, gawking at Lanny Benoit!!!! I was caught off guard and awestruck!! He asks, whats the quickest way to Errol? I stuttered like a little school boy! And told him. I also told him where each road took him and where I seen deer sign(He didnt ask, I was babbling) I then mustered up the courage to ask, Are you Lanny Benoit? With a smile he nods his head in approval. I wished him luck and went on my way. But man, I mustve looked like a complete idiot! There were 2 others with him, Lance was 1, but I couldnt see the other guy well. Pretty neat!
BTW, they got a small camper up there a couple miles from my camp, so I assume they will hunt the area till Monday.
I was excited! I entertained the thought of not hunting tomorrow to stay home with the family. But I am going up there! (No, I wont intrude....unless they are in my turf, my hunt is already planned!)
