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.

Condolences to the family and I can't think of a better way to go.

[campking]

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.

[bigredchev]

To go with a smile on is all we can ask for. Best wishes

[Dash]

That's heartbreaking to hear but I'm glad he left doing what he loved. My condolences to you srupp and to his family.

Condolences, SRUPP.

We lost my mom to cancer this year, and although skipping the final stages of significant suffering would obviously have been desirable, there is something to be said for being able to come to terms with the fact she would be going and having a chance to all say goodbye. Losing good people is hard either way. Hopefully the fact he was enjoying life right until the end is some consolation to his family and friends.

Although it's always sad when someone close to us passes, some people have a difficult time with the reality
that we all die, some sooner than others. Most of us don't get to choose that time, but passing while doing
something we love to do, or going in our sleep, is my choice for sure. I've lost many relatives and friends, some
died suddenly while others after lengthy and painful circumstances....neither way is pleasant.

Just the time I was out hunting I was wondered how many guys suffer heart attacks either when aiming down on an animal or when dragging it out. I guess it happens. I'd rather die in the bush than in a hospital bed any day... I wonder if my family would disagree?
