This trip would prove to be the greatest hunt of my life for many reasons. Every day was filled with the beauty of God's creation—the sights, sounds, and smells of the fall mountains, along with many encounters with game animals of all types; some wanted and some unwanted and at some very uncomfortable distances.
This trip would have moments of excitement, success, joy, danger, fear and, ultimately, a tragedy that set me on a walk unlike any walk I have ever taken before in my life, a walk that would change my life forever.
