In 2017 I met a young man through Monster Muleys. He had a sheep tag for 2 and I had one for 1. He was hunting DIY and so was I. He helped me with getting the right supplements to aid me in my pursuit. I showed him around in 2 and gave him scouting tips and locations on both the Sunlight and North Fork of the Shoshone. We talked on the phone weekly during our hunts. He was looking for a good ram. He encouraged me to keep on and gave me a tip on how to treat my sciatica. It really helped. He hunted almost the entire season without getting a ram. He had numerous grizzly encounters and even had a bear tear up his Hilleberg tent.
After the season was over, he called me to discuss hunting, life and sports. He was a chiropractor in Rock Springs. A very good friendship developed between us and we spent hours on the telephone. Our age difference was huge. I loved our telephone calls. It was like talking to one of my sons. We were going to get together for an antelope or deer hunt together. Last year, he suffered a devastating knee injury that had him lose a lot. He was struggling to simply walk after surgery. We put off our hunt plans because of this.
My only sibling died in April of this year after a horrible fight with pancreatic cancer. Skylar was the first to offer his condolences. I spoke to him for over an hour just weeks ago. He told me he was struggling with his knee. He also told me he was missing his Dad who had passed away a few years earlier. He told me how his Dad taught him all he knew about the outdoors. I asked if there was anything I could do to help him.
I found out today that this young man had just passed away. I was just sick to hear this. I do not know what happened and don’t need to know. All I know is I will miss our conversations. He was a good man. Just sayin…Mh
