OFFICIAL 2013 SOLANA RANCH HUNT THREAD

[Terry Green]

We lost another great TradGanger in 2012.  

Mr Donald 'NAKOHE' Rowan....Brother to Danny Rowan.

Danny had been to Solana before and Donald was on the list a couple of time but things came up and even though he always wanted to go, he never made the hunt.

Donald's post here were always welcome, delightful, and enthusiastic.....we will miss him dearly.

So, Danny sent one of Donald's bows to the ranch, and I requested a broadhead of Donald's.

We gathered around one of the most scenic places on the ranch for a Memorial for Donald, and its the same place we had the Memorial for Chris Surtees after his passing.

I picked a dark hole to send the broadhead into the ground with Donald's bow along side Chris' Ceremonial marking where some of his ashes were spread by his Dad Larry.

Here are a few clips, and a video.  Sorry if I didn't come across clear, as these type of things don't come easy for me.

A Solana Tribute to Donald Rowan......

Very fine tribute.

[Sharptop]

Sorry I missed it. I know Bisch was fired up to have a chance to hunt with Mr. Rowan's bow and I'm sorry it didn't work out but this memorial is a powerful remembrance.

[BDann]

A man couldn't ask for a finer tribute, from hunters to another hunter.

Awesome tribute to a fine Trad Ganger that will be missed by so many...powerful...

[Cyclic-Rivers]

A wonderful tribute to a true hunter and gentleman.


Congrats Mr woods.  I would take  a "bad" shot like that on a hog any day!  Good shooting sir!

[gregg dudley]

Having been there to add a rock to the cairn when it was placed for Chris and then for this occassion as well I can tell you that it is a pretty special tribute indeed.  We let the bow hang in that tree for the evening hunt overlooking the creek and hillside that you can see in the one picture that Terry posted.  All evening I was sitting on stand thinking about the bow in the tree and wondering about the game that might pass by that spot.  It was pretty cool to say the least.

[Big Ed]

Man O' Man I got the chills !!! Awesome tribute to say the least. Well done!!!

[4runr]

Very well done fellas!

[OBXarcher]

Very nice tribute. He is with us all in spirit every time we take to the woods.
