Sorry to see you go, Jack. I will never forget what I learned from you at Wolf Trapper's Ed in Idaho. I use the knives you made all trapping season long and will continue to do so for many years. Thank you!

The best to you Jack, we all have enjoyed and learned from your contributions over the years.

Sorry to see you go, I always appreciated your comments over in the Pen and Quill forum.
Best wishes to you, sir and a small prayer sent for better health.

Hate to hear this

Learned much from your post.

Very sorry to hear. Always enjoyed all your posts. Even if you don't post anymore maybe you can still drop by to read from time to time. Your posts will be missed.

This is a sad day now. I really enjoyed your post. I’m sure it was one of your post on the ponderosa pine needle baskets, I sure wish I could learn that. And the adventures you post about is incredible. Hope you reconsider.

Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and curiosity jack

It has certainly been my privilege to call you my friend over the last 40 years.

Save me a spot by the campfire .

Thank you Jack Whitman for making me a better trapper!

I will use your knowledge you passed on to me on your old stomping grounds. I will set some traps for you out on the Ivan River (creek really) for otter. I will catch some Marten around Mt. Susitna. I will use your knowledge to fool the really smart single wolfs running up and down the Talkeenta river. And a huge thank you for spending a lifetime taking such great care of all the animals you have caught. You have been a man to look up to and try to copy. I have approx. 150 footholds set up with your shock springs and drag set up. Thank you for all the wildlife pictures you shared with us all. When you were really trying to get us trappers to get along better. I will set some wolverine traps at the Nelchina Glacier for you and maybe go to trap the Kenai river again.

Thanks for the great books you wrote. Thanks for the awesome knives you made me! I cherish them!

I am right behind you and hope I can carry your pack basket in the next life. God bless you!

My friend.....my dear friend....my dear friend





On the surface, face to the wind...

God Bless Gulo,and take care.
I will continue to peruse all your valuable contributions in the archives.

Sure enjoyed your post. Take care of yourself.

You have made many valuable contributions to this site and it is a better place because of it.

I have your books and I have the knives you made for me, I use them every season and will continue to do so. You were willing to use my own wood for the handles/scales and did a fantastic job of it.

You'll be missed Jack Whitman.

I too will miss your posts. God bless, sir.

You will be missed. Lots of great memories from the many years we have been friends.

Best memory EVER - that California bobcat pelt Gary brought back in 5 pieces. After several spools of thread and who knows how many hours, you turned that into a $300.00 pelt. Only you could do that.

Thanks Gulo for unselfishly sharing with the world your thoughts, experiences, and knowledge. I was given a knife you made and will pass it on to only somebody that is worthy. Take care and God bless.

Not much I can say that hasn't been already, and I agree with them! Ill miss your posts!

Best wishes Jack, I hate to see you go. Eric

Jack you have lived a life most of us only could dream of. Thanks again for sharing your experiences with us and I hope those memories and experiences brings you some comfort. My prayers are with u Sir.

Like all have said, I will surely miss your posts. You friend have enriched our lives with all you have shared. I love your knives and your books and your poetry. I even learned how and made a couple pine needle baskets after sharing photos of yours. Thank You. God bless you.

Well son of a gun Gulo, I’m glad I got to share a piece of life with you through the forum Trapperman. I wish you well!

Mr. Whitman, the impression and impact you have made on the Trapping community & T-Man family is immeasurable.

Your departure will leave a huge void, but the legacy you have left behind will continue on both in the field and on the line for generations to come.

It has been an honor to be given just a small glimpse into your life.

God Bless You Mr. Jack Whitman.

…. Well said Mr Tejas

.. you will be missed around here Gulo

Hey Jack... I just ordered a couple of your books.... Wild Life and Poetic Injustice. Been meaning to do so for awhile now but kept spacing it off. Look forward to reading them... if they're anything as good as your posts on here they ought to be great!

Jack ..don't know what to say..

But your knowledge cannot be replaced..

And those knives you've made are sure special to me.

Wish you the best..Nessy

I don't open every thread when I'm on this site, but every time I see 'Gulo' in green letters, I always open it. There would invariably be a gem or three in it.
Best wishes to you partner.

May the road Rise to meet you.
may the wind be always at your back.

the rains fall soft upon your fields and,
until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand

Jack aka “Gulo”

I Met you quite a few years ago in Missoula. Your wealth of knowledge and adventures rival no one I know. You live a life that most only dream about. I did a demo after you which was humbling to say the least. You will be a big loss to this site and continue on your next adventure!

Mr. Jack

Never met you, but I have enjoyed your posts and contributions immensely over the years. You have lived a life to be envious of. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers going forward. Godspeed!

I am very sorry you are having medical issues.
Hope things turn around for you.
Thanks for all you have shared, including great ideas
and awesome photos.

Mac

You have made a huge impact on how I handle large animals. I am grateful for all you have shared with us.
Good luck sir

Greetings Jack , I also have enjoyed reading about your adventures and hope you're medical issues are fixed without to much difficulty .

As mentioned above I don't read all the posts on here but I've always enjoyed yours even this one , I hope you stop in from time to time just because .,

Thank you Jack for all the memories and bringing us along on your adventures !

Godspeed Jack.

Bummer!! I sure have missed the "Photo Fridays" lately! Thank you for all of your contributions in the past!

Jacks Christmas poems are the best !!!

This makes me so sad to hear. I was worried about you after seeing you at the Salmon Rhondy. If there is anything you need, at all, please let me know. Take care and I hope and pray you get to feeling better soon.

Thanks and god bless

Wow, we hate to lose you. I hope something miraculous happens and this won't be the end of your contribution to so many.
