The hunter was 32 and died of a heart attack. It’s been a rough month for outsdoors people in Idaho. Two hunters killed in gun accidents at vehicles and two fishermen drowned on Henry’s Lake.

Stay safe.

Sad. It’s a very familiar story to a 32 year old man who died on mountains I walk often in 2011 in our little town.

He killed a large bull, and died right after. I never knew him but know folks who did, and as fellow father-of-three, elk hunter, and human with heartbeats not guaranteed, I visit his grave regularly in the cemetery above our fire hall.

The above stories are very sad. Life is short and for some it is very short. My condolences to the families.
