Axl hits the big time

[mtmiller]

I thought this was pretty cool. I got home from vacation last night and there was a note UPS left a package at the back door. Crap I don't remember a Cabelas purchase before I hit the road. Opened up the package and saw a cool book with a familiar yellow beast on the cover.

A few months ago the author emailed me to see if I would allow pics of Axl for a book he was putting together (pretty sure he lurks here, but I contacted my on a waterfowl site I also frequent).

I only asked for a copy of the book when it was published and for Axl to be credited. There are several pics of Axl in the book and obviously the cover shot.

I am looking forward to reading the book and thanks for the copy Eric Begbie.

You have something special there. The pic is awesome and well deserving of being on the cover.

Hey, that is pretty cool!

 

[choc dogs]

congrats..but you mean there's more than one website to look at?

Can we get autographed copies of the Coverboy?

Congrats to Axl.

You're both famous! Congratulations!

Real cool! The pictures you take of your dog are the best of that type I've ever seen. It doesn't suprise me they are used in the book or on the cover. Give that dog a bone!

Come on Jose and Ith, I thought I left enough of another book on the coffee table to get a comment out of you.

 

[TheTone]

Awesome for both you and the dog. My most famous "publication" is being included in a reloading manual when I was younger. I'm thinking the two books on the lower level of the table are hardbound Cabela's catalogs?

That is awesome, congrats to you and the dog!!!

Free Hunttalk advertising to boot.

That dog is such a ham

 

[noharleyyet]

That dog's gonna take you places Miller. Well deserved notoriety.

 

[T Bone]

You're famous! If Axl still had all of his parts he could be even more valuable.

I'm trying to decipher the title of the book laying on its side behind yours.

"Carpet Munching" ?

More like "The Art of Donkey Punching"

That's pretty cool, Craig.

I think the "other" book is "Welfare Ranching." Is that homework reading from work?

We have a winner. Actually Oak, I picked up the book a couple months ago, but other than being a coaster, not much use yet.

Ovis and Tyson, I keep those two copies in the bedroom.
