For me was somewhere around 97 just not sure. I know I got first hand-me-down computer from my sister an old 386 in either late 96 early 97. Know that because I was watching the info for NTA at Rochester MN on line..Believe I linked to T-man from NTA site or was maybe from otter creek site?? Either way was on T-man as lurker before went to NTA at Rochester, MN that as I recall was 97..

Tman got started in the spring of 1998. Been a good ride with some great folks. Kinda sad reading that post knowing RayA, Possum Skinner and Ole Hawkeye have passed.

Guess Paul cleared that up for me had to be sometime 98 after Rochester NTA...
I remember of course RayA, Possum Skinner, Ole Hawkeye, being there and also Wolfer and I believe Bogmaster and Benny too was on first time I actually joined in chat.

First met and talked to RayA at that NTA in Rochester and we figured that out later in chat one evening..

Longear has been gone a couple years now too, good trapper ,coon hunter ,and just a good guy.

I don't know when I first got on here but it must have been real close to the beginning, changed addresses a couple times since then.

Those early years were the absolute best for learning things, loaded with top trappers.

RayA , Possum Skinner and Ole Hawkeye have not passed. They have 'passed it on' with their posts.

In the true spirit of Paul's dad.

Mucho respect.

I know I lurked a quite a few years (since 2001) before I became a member and have enjoyed all of the knowledge and stories that have been shared. I doubt that makes me an old timer but I must be gettin' close.


I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

I was thinking it was the spring of 1998. I remember finding it when I was home on leave from Egypt. Or maybe I found it the spring of 1999. Anyhow, I've been here a long time.

Had a similar experience, except I ticked off an admin. Got banished. Couple years later I asked Paul "why?" He said "Heck, I don't know what happened, here's the link." Got back on T-Man but all my previous posts were deleted.
