5 years ago today.

RIP Aaron. Thank you.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I never knew Aaron, but the ripple of his passing forged many relationships that I have on HuntWa today. It speaks volumes about what kind of human he was and I'm thankful for the friendships forged as a result of his passing.

RIP.

Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice. I hope your family has found some comfort in knowing how many lives you touched and that you died a hero. I hope you are chasing monster bulls in the mountains in the sky. Rest easy.
