Title: Houndsman Killed
Post by: Machias on April 22, 2018, 08:44:14 PM: 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. :'(

Safety Rules are for keeps

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)
