Dave, when you sent the photo, I saw the rifle and knew which one it was. I was beside myself for you in your success but as I sit here finally able to process it I am in grief and in elation.
Now that folks have left and the day is winding down I think back to the years of calls or text from Chad when he relayed funny stories or called to discuss the days afield with you while hunting. I can not say I have missed Chad ever as much as I do today. My heart cries and my eyes weep.
Thank you for sharing this buck with me and the story with us all. It truly is a special buck for more reasons than most will ever know.
Fwiw, Big John killed a buck with his .280 a week or so back. While I have little hope of such a buck
I do hope to punch a tag with his .308 before the season is done.
