[mike89]

we did mno hats way back when... i think i still have mine somewhere.  Doug did the logo design.

yea it sure be nice if we had some nice USA made vented hats to buy!!!!!!!!

I been working on it, but Doug is in Canada at the moment.
And, they probably won't be the mesh vented hat either 

why not both styles??  just asking..

cause they'll probably be camo on 3 back panels and the front panel, a tan with the logo

that sounds very good!!  Thanks HD!!!

[glenn57]

that does sound like a really good design!!!!!!!!!

Pat, Tim and Ryan

Pat also went by Spinach
Tim also went by Mayfly
Ryan was the IT guy who was responsible for building the original site

if i remember right, your being a bit modest OJ. unless i'm mistaken i believe you were also an intregal part of starting this site. not?????????????

I've been a volunteer staff member from that first year (2006) to the present. Tim became the sole owner of MNO a couple years in (2008 or 09). I purchased the site from Tim a couple years after that (so it could live on) and then the best owner bought it after that and built MNO into what it is today! We should all tip our caps to HD! He’s done a lot of great things and he provides this fun place for each of us to hang out! I know I continue to learn new things all the time from our awesome members!

Dough did the logo design? Since OJ's from Spearfish SD, I'm guessing he took time off from being Williams and Ree's manager to found this site.

 

They did indeed meet here in Spearfish while at Black Hills State.

I still have my MNO jacket.

How many of you remember when we tried expanding and had a home page of MidwestOutdoorsman.com?

I’m sure Lee remembers.

Doug also designed a South Dakota Outdoorsman logo for me about 7 years ago. I tried to kickoff a website like we have at MNO but it never took off and I let the domain name go a couple years ago and someone I know bought it up.

I still have a South Dakota Outdoorsman Facebook page (if any of you want to give it a like the link is below). :)

I remember the MWO days....I don't remember the jackets though 

Both OJ and me, had the same vision for MNO....to keep it alive and get it to grow.
Let's just say, that there has been some "miscommunication" between the owners shifts...But, I do owe a BIG debt of gratitude to OJ for his friendship and understanding.

I do the best I can, because I fell in love with this site (just like OJ)....BUT! there has been days! and a HUGE learning curve!

I had to learn IT in a quick hurry to keep this site alive, and with the great help from my friend "the tech-guy" we keep it going.....

I have said this before and I will say it again.  This site is a big part of my day.  Especially since I just retired I do miss the companionship of my buddies at work.  So you guys fill that need and I thank you HD, OJ, and whoever else put all of the work into this.   

[Jerkbiat]

Yah, I don't even look at any of the other sites anymore. Dis be da one.

[Gunner55]

I still stop in over on FM/HSO from time to time, mostly to talk Twins & Vikings. I like to see how much trouble Del's gettin in over there too.     If not him Leech~~, Smurfy, & mike are usually lurkin 'round the corner somewhere too. 

[Dotch]

This is the only outdoor site I frequent anymore. With time becoming more at a premium I had to make some choices. The folks here have always been friendly and after a few incidents on other sites, the choice became a lot easier.

So, you refused to put ad signs on yer sheep, right?

I check in over there once in a while...but for some reason they watch me like a hawk..... I fart, and they ask what I had for lunch.

I posted on a thread....and they commented..."are you looking for friends?" It had nothing to do with the conversation, and then all of a sudden... I have to have my posts approved...

Oh well.... Hitler didn't die in the bunker....

I haven't looked over there for months.  Maybe a couple of years.  The next time you guys are over there use the word site.  They change it to page.  LOLOL  I used to love doing that.

For even more fun, type the word "crap" over there....see what happens.

     So say something about some other crap site you looked at.  They would probably kick you off.....

Some of that stuff is just default settings on your website....whatever type of format you download for your website, the defaults would be different.
BUT....it is able to me manipulated for whatever you want it to do (for the most part)

Ours is open, for the most part (cause it is a family orientated site...except for the saloon)

Ok I can see that.

Still have my MNO cap and wear it frequently! We had a great group here at MNO "back in the day". I'm looking forward to exploring the current site and building relationships with those here supporting the site and each other! Scott (aka Realtree)
