    bitter sweet...

    My neighbor and great guy loves hunting.loves hunting.
    Met him Sept. At mail post box..he commented no bucks around anywhere.
    Last Friday he shot and harvested a good 4x4 mulie buck...en route bringing buck to his truck and to brag to his hunting partner that he got a gooder"...he suffered a fatal medical event..and died.
    His hunting partner found him in sight of the vehicle..nothing could be done.


    He is survived by wife and 2 grown wonderful sons.

    Sucks to have lost him? However he went not in a hospital with tubes, not in a motor vehicle accident..
    He went doing what he loved..and a 4x4 buck...
    Will miss him.

    That's sad but like already said hopefully it was as painless as possible and yes much better than dragging on sick for a long time in a hospital. That kind of end would suit me just fine, only one other scenario that might be better but I wont get into that here, Lol.

    Yes please pass my condolences on to his family, like others have said and I bet many of us if asked would
    chose that way of passing over any other.
