The Great Larry Mower "Yelum".
I am at a loss 0f words for Larry Mower. "Yelum" passed away. I am completely paralyzed from the chest down and permanently confined to a wheelchair due to a tragic injury. My point is Yelum is the only person I've met in wheelchair who has never complained about his circumstances. I am relatively new to Utah and have only spoken to Larry on the phone a handful of times. Larry always gave me the best advice as when to see the most bucks on Antelope Island ,low light conditions, and overcast days. Just talking to him for a few minutes and getting his advice I would always see more bucks. Larry gave me information on the transplants of where the deer from Antelope Island went. Larry knew if these deer had twins, collars, or triplets. He was an an expert on the lives and habitats of mule deer.
Larry offered to give me a pair of shed replicas that I had lost that were similar to his set free of charge. Larry never spoke badly about any of the big hunting guides or their competition. He was offered an action track chair for $16,000 but declined and gave it to a wheelchair hunting group. This man always put his family and friends first and gave them opportunities most of us would only dream of. Larry would always call or email back after my trips to Antelope Island even though he often had a fever or was feeling sick. Larry will always be a Hall of Fame Legend in the Mule Deer Hunting World. He made hunting and photographing mule deer more enjoyable for me, knocking down many barriers for people like me with disabilities. RIP ,Yelum. You will be missed and my thoughts and prayers go to your family.
I'm sorry that I couldn't make it to your funeral. Although I personally can't afford it, I suggest that we erect a plaque or other symbol to remember his love and passion for Mule Deer on Antelope Island.
