His last big game hunt was in 1977; Chet was right, he was 75. That hunt was for antelope and whitetails in Eastern Montana, and he hunted with son Bradford, guided by Jack Acheson.

Bradford also told me, “And I am pretty sure he popped a few pheasants with Hank Kaufman the fall before he died.” That would have been the same fall, 1977.


At that age I expect he enjoyed that hunt more than huffing through the mountains of Alberta above timberline, I know I would. I remember even as a young man he enjoyed hunting antelope in Arizona, and E. Montana is some pretty country.
