It is with great sadness that I must inform our group that hunting big game is truly a dangerous activity. A dear friend of mine was killed this morning while hunting bison in the Yukon. He was attacked by a bison, gored and stomped to death. It is gory to think about but very sobering as well. He had harvested another bison last week and was to spend the long weekend doing the same. He leaves behind a wonderful wife and 5 children. Miss you and love you forever TJ....until we meet again dear friend.

My condolences... sometimes we forget how dangerous hunting big game can be. With the season fast approaching, I wish all a safe hunting experience.
