Brownbearhunter was Jim Waggett, my guide on my first hunting trip to AK for Dall sheep. He was an assistant guide then, working for Ed Stevenson's outfit. Jim worked very hard to get me a good shot on a very good mature ram. A long shot in adverse weather and a tough recovery cemented a friendship.
We stayed in touch and I eventually found out that he died on Christmas Day 2016. I'm delayed in posting because life sometimes throws us unexpected curve balls. He was a good man and is missed by his friends and those who hunted with him. I was fortunate to get the 6.5-284 I used to shoot that ram back from Jim before he passed. I remember that trip every time I use that rifle. It delivers every time.
Godspeed Jim. RIP brother.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty of give me death! P. Henry
