My dads first words to kids were do you go hunuong or fishing .He then asked if they wanred to go .I loved every day huntimg and fishing with him .He always put kids first .He taught hundreds of kids in construxtuot and taught classes in it .He could make shots on deer birds and rabbits that were hard to believe .He made two doubles as in two with one shot .He carried kids treesrands till they were big enough to do it .There waa one day he took 7 kids and they all got bucks that day where he put them.He started huntimg deer when it just started opening where we lived .Every kid today still talks about adventures with my dad hunting and fishing as the best childhood memorirs .I hooe lots more people take kids hunting .I have done the same with kids for 40 years now always lots of fun .

So sorry to here that . Thought for your family. The best and worst thing is the next time you are in the woods on opening day and it is so quiet you will get the wave of peace that comes over you as the sun is breaking the horizon you will feel him with you and you will be sad because he is not physically with you good luck take time to grieve

. you and your family have my deepest sympathy..we all get to go through these hard days as I've done many times but as long as he is in your heart and memories none of you will ever forget him. And that ole tale about "time heals everything" is absolutely baloney, ever after 35 years the heartache is still the same. Keep your chin up and smile at the memories and photos.

Sorry for your loss. Reminds me of my father's favorite saying. Take a kid hunting and you'll never have to hunt for the kid.

My deepest sympathy and I know your loss. Hopefully you can start the healing process now, you’ve seen h..l first hand with what he went through, doesn’t seem fair that someone of his caliber should go through that but life is a mystery none of us have answers to, keep the faith, his life had purpose.

Condolences. I wish the world was full of people like your dad. I was lucky enough to have a Grandpa and uncles to teach me to hunt and trap
