A hound hunter down in Kooskia, Idaho was killed day before yesterday. Jason Mills was a nice guy. He trained two of my pups for me last summer on bears. Was a heck of a good hound hunter, treed a ton of bears every year and a lot of cats over in that area of Idaho. Looks like he was setting up camp, was removing his rifle from his truck and it discharged and killed him. Dogs were still in their dog box. Be careful out there, don't get complacent handling those firearms. Sad deal, totally avoidable.

I was with 3 couples that found him on Friday the 20th. He was at a camp along Cow Creek Rd. NE of Riggins, Id. A few more comments when I get back from a Dr. appt. Very Sad

So sad for sure.

Hopefully others can learn from this.

The only comment is: A good man's inattention for 0.10 of a heart beat resulted in an accidental discharge of a firearm and instant death.
Safety Rules are for keeps

This is a pic of me with a bobcat we caught together this winter, I wish I had a picture of us together but we never had anyone else around to take a pic like that. The only person I have met that loved hound hunting as much as I do. Rest in peace Mills you will be missed.

Yup, even when you're just whipped, so tired can't hardly stand up and just wanna crawl to bed, still gotta do the safety rules (maybe even more so)

RIP
