Late Archery- Winston

[Fullabull]

So I found some interesting facts about at least one of the two gents I found in the woods.
August Hulstrom: Can't find anything on this guy, no records at all. Unless August was a middle name or something his stone is his last living marker

James P. Eaton:
This guy was born in Maine, served in the Civil War as a Corporal from 1861 to 1865.
The next record I find of him is living in Sierra CA in 1880
Between 1880 and 1890 he moved to Toutle WA
He was Married to Ellen J. Eaton
In the 1900 Census Ellen was still living in Toutle with a large family
Harry Eaton who was 22...looks like he served in both World Wars but can't find anything after that. He had a family with one son who looks like he died in the 1990's
Jeanette Eaton who was 19...Cannot find anything more after the 1900 Census
Marry Eaton who was 16...Marry married and moved off to start here own family
George Eaton who was 13...George moved to Canada just before World War ll
Louisa Eaton who was 9...no records after 1910
Daisy Eaton who was 3...No records after 1910

Anyway, it was fun and I thought I needed to give these guys little life after being lost for so long....

Hunted a total of 7 days up there in the late season.  This was my first year bow hunting.  I had plenty of action and didnt see ANY people while hunting.  Everyone was lazy and seemed to care more about drinking beer.  We would hike in for an hour and a half every morning before light, but only saw two sets of human tracks in 7 days and they were only 5 min from an open road.  I made a huge mistake and ended up killing my first elk, but never found her.  I tracked her for 5 hours before loosing track of her at dark.     Never lost an animal before... it is such a horrible feeling!!!  Bad ending to my first archer kill and first elk kill.  I am pretty sure I only hit one lung, and she never laid down.... I gave her 3 hrs before going after her.  Kinda makes me want to go back to rifle hunting , but then I still wouldnt be an elk hunter since rifle elk is a JOKE.   Very bitter and depressed, and just want to kill the first doe I see now to be done with the season.
