Maybe he sat down under his favorite tree closed his eyes, couldn't think of a better way.

A buddy of mine is buddies with some old timers in easter wa...they were out hunting deer this year by the Palouse...one of the old timers bagged a 5 point or something like that...called on the radio for the boys to come help out....they get there...the old feller is dead from a heart attack....could have been worse...I would take a heart attack out hunting over cancer anyday. It is too bad he went, but not much of a better way to go IMO (in my opinion). Here's to those who are in the happy hunting ground...cheers :brew:

Was talking with a coworker the other day, he told me a bunch of his wifes family were hunting in Montana and one dies.
He said it "affected" them, and they haven't hunted quite the same. I told him, hell, If I'm in my upper 60's, 70's or 80's, it be a hell of a lot better than dying in a hospital all drugged up and not knowing who you are or where you are.
Had a friend die that way....had a tear in his colon, so while he was sleeping, they hooked a morphine drip up to him, and his wife just kept "hitting" it, and he never woke up, all on the advice of the doctory.
Let me tell you what, I'd have liked to wake up....at least to say bye.
I've always wanted to outlive my wife, just so's she wouldn't ever have to be alone....I just don't know if my body can hold out.
A guys got to be strong enough mentaly to know his own strengths....when its time, its time. You wait too long, your going to be put in a hospital, or a home *censored*ting yourself and not enough strength to get to the woods one last time......

I hope to die in the woods doing something I love (just not killed by a bear or the like , please)
I'm sorry for the family and this man will be in my Prayers.
But I do envy him some.
Amen.

Where we put a body is for the living, not the dead.
I want to feed the coyotes with whats left of me.....
