Spring is coming. I made this post last year. I don't know the man personally but let's remember Hunter 22, his accomplishments and collections as well as all the rest won't be seeing this spring. There's plenty for sure.  Thank God we all get to. Sure wherever they're at the birds are gobbling. Hope you all have a good, safe season and invite a kid along. Don't forget the girls

Hunter 22 was a helpful and knowledgeable giant on this forum ! I did not know him personally but his advice and recommendations were always spot on!! I also think of him when spring gets close- many of my pots and strikers were at his recommendation!!

I was looking through a couple of my PMs on another site and I saw Hunter22s messages. Man, he was a wealth of knowledge, I wish I would have e been able to stop by and spend the day running calls with him. I'm glad I have his PMs to look at. He as well as the others will be missed!

Miss Mr. Ricky very much. Always enjoyed speaking with him and sharing sound files.

Always enjoyed chatting with him. He really enjoyed his call collection...

Great Man, better I'm a person from knowing him.

Did not have the honor of knowing, but from what you all say, he was an Icon here. God bless him, and all of you for a safe, healthy, successful, and fun spring.....Thanks...

That man is definitely missed! Seems like he touched a lot of lives!

And he let us enjoy his collection with him. Always appreciated his meticulous photos of his calls. And he would drop everything to help you out if you needed it. Another one of the good guys.

Several years ago Ricky was very helpful to me when I started buying custom pots. The first one I bought he recommended and it is still the one I use the most today. Before he passed we talked about his faith and he assured me he knew Jesus and knew where he would be spending eternity. I also still have pm's  from him that I will not delete. Im very thankful for the time and advice he shared with me

I have a mora/apple fiddlebox that was his. I should make it a goal to take a gobbler this spring with it.

I think he'd like that.

Ricky was a great guy that I was proud to call a friend. We did alot of trading over the years.
