 "Wars come and go, but my soldier stay eternal."  for some reason this saying came into my head when I was reading about colockumelk.  It is a quote from a movie and lyrics from a song.

Thank you everyone, I truly mean that.  Thank you Doug for the offer also.  The thing about Aaron is he never slowed down for one second!  He was so passionate about every single thing he did in life.  I think everyone probably already knew that though by his novel like post's and number crunching that would make a math professors head spin. lol.   I just bought his tags and permit apps yesterday as his birthday present.  Not sure what to do now.  Maybe we will put in together one last time. I don't know.  I don't know much of anything right know.

Wow, that brought a tear to my eye. I say put in with him!
   You know the *censored*s of the thing is he never drew a bull tag in this state!  He loved elk more than anyone I ever knew and he wanted desperately to draw a tag and kill a bull!  I promised him before he left that when he got his ass back safe that i would take him to colorado and get him a bull and to hell with waiting on washington.  We talked about that hunt a lot in the last month or so.  I spent all monday and tuesday doing research on some colorado units.  I really wanted to get it dialed in and make sure it was a successful hunt.  He just wanted to kill a good bull.

Just a thought, you should still do your Colorado hunt, I am guessing that he probably would have wanted to see you continue, besides, he will still be with you.

Very sad to hear this news.  The only thing I knew about Coluckumelk is that he was a passionate person who stood up for his beliefs and I believe he had a very good heart.  Condolences to his family and friends.

He had so much to do still, so much unfinished business!  I am scared to death because his wife and her family are from north carolina and I fear I won't know my nephew that well and more importantly he won't properly know who his father truly was.  He's only 4 for *censored*s sake.  I don't remember *censored* from when I was 4!

With the permission of Dale, I am going to try to get the Joshua Cup going again, and all funds will be distributed to Aarons kids.   For those of you not knowing what this is, we will talk about it elsewhere as soon as Administration and I hash it out.   Its a charity/contest we have hosted several times.   I can't think of a better reason for this charity than this.

There are no words that can be said that will ease the pain of losing a loved one. I am sorry for your loss and prayers for your family.  He made the ultimate sacrifice to keep the rest of us safe.
