New Guy saying Hi and Thankyou

Dave Smith · 01-03-2003, 08:52 PM

Hi guys- glad to have found you all! you guys have embarrassed and humbled me with your kind comments on recent topics- thanks for all your kind words. I have to tell the truth, though: Brad Cochran is the brains and talent and hard work behind Cochran and Smith. We are kind of like the Millie Vanillie of guide services- I am Rob and Fab, and Brad is the dude that did all the singing-hehe.
Hope everyone is killin'em or catchin'em and I hope to pick up some good tips and I will share anything I have. Dave Smith

Welcome Dave!

I've heard the coments about you, and you are revered in the local goose world. I don't know if you've been catching some of the whining about geese from WRO and myself, but I would sure welcome your thoughts on this subject.

Please offer more "goose talk".

Glad to have you. :grin:

PS I'm a newby that can't stay off of ifish.

Welcome Dave. It's about time. Now tell your new guy story and no break dance stories.

It is nice to know we have a pro around.

Nice to have you aboard.
I have a love/hate relationship with geese. Bottomline though is given the choice I'd rather get frustrated by geese than do most anything else. Like GRB said any opinions you have are going be greatly appreciated seeings how between the two of us, we can't buy a goose

Welcome Dave. It's exciting to have you aboard at Ifish.

Hope you don't mind if those of us with a "goose addiction" problem pick your brain a little. Hope you find Ifish a great place. :smile:

Hey Dave...

Good to see you post up.... I am beginning to wonder if I'm ever going to hear from you before the end of the season. Hopefully we'll get another chance to blast a few on cue.

Thanks guys!!- Rauly- what story do I need to post?? GRB and WRO, let me know what you need- I will help in any way I can. Hot Tamale1- we have been busy busy but it might be fun to film a Feb hunt?? you're going to kill me, but we did the "other" show (Northwest Hunter) God smiled on us as we crushed 36 happless Geese on a beautiful morning in the Valley. The good news is, we have become the masters at building good camera blinds so you will be proud of us!!!! thankyou all again. Dave

The "hometown" master has arrived!

Welcome Dave. While we have never met, I have read much about you and heard your goose calling. Glad to see you finally found ifish. IMHO I believe it is why the 'other' hunting site for OR is struggling.

I can't wait to hear what you have to share. In posts you made on other sites, I have come to appreciate your humility, in spite your well known goose hunting prowess. [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

Enjoy!

Welcome to IFISH, Dave. Rauly is refering to the IFISH tradition that those new to the board must tell a hunting/fishing story. Make it a good 'un.

Welcom Dave.
