Was he reaching for a weapon or reaching for his wounds?
There were over a 1000 people at his funeral yesterday.
Whatever happened, its a sad day for all.
Especially for his family. Like any family, it's hard for them to think their dad (brother, son, cousin) did wrong or was at fault.
Some things I'd like to know:
-how long had he worked that permit?
-obit I read said he mostly worked in property management
-how many cows was he running? (I have heard 48)
- I NEVER met a public lands rancher who couldn't tell you how big his pastures were.
-I wonder what he meant by "in six years I never grazed this pasture off"
- what's up with the chaps? that's not brushy country. Or was that for the camera?
-tank looked a little low, and some of that green was tumbleweed. Not a prime ranch.
-did he have land (private property) on the ranch, or did he live in town, and leave his cows out on the BLM?
