Thanks everyone.  Reading back through these has motivated me to relive past hunts and put pen to paper.  Preserve the good times with pictures and words everyone!  Sometimes, its all you are left with

please change the names to protect the innocent !

6 years ago today we lost Aaron. So many new members who dont know who Colockumelk was. He was passionate, intelligent, fun loving, always positive, courageous, and silly. He was a loving father, dedicated friend and outdoorsman. He was a good friend and an even better brother. He was also a soldier. A soldier who loved the men he lead and believed in his mission down to his very core.

Couldnt have been said any better as he is still missed by many on this site. Here's to your brother and making the ultimate sacrifice.

Wow...
What a thread.  Can’t picture what you feel when you read this, Karl.

Sorely missed. How are his kids and wife doing?

He'll never be forgotten, Karl. I remember that horrible day like it was yesterday.

It was a fitting day for rememberance.   I was looking for an old pm and there was one from him.   It tugged on the heart strings.

Never had the honor to meet Captain Blanchard.  Those people who have met some of his family and have seen how he touched lives, they know what kind of man he was. Easy to see he was an excellent son, brother, father, soldier, and hunter.

I can’t imagine the emotions that these days of loss of such a great man stir up. Sounds like some great times you guys shared. RIP 🙏

I can't believe it was six years ago!

You can tell a lot about a man by what others who knew them say about them.

He is obviously loved and honored by many, who could ask for more?

I never had the pleasure of meeting Aaron face to face, but talked with him about elk on here. I have met and hunted with his brother, during my quality bull hunt. I was also privileged, to honor Aaron through Salmon For Soldiers in 2017. I was honored to have his son Hunter and brother Karl on my boat for the day. Honoring Aaron and his family is a memory I will never forget. Seeing his son land salmon that day, and then be honored in front of the whole Salmon For Soldiers event was an awesome experience to be part of.
