Losing someone dear to you while they were out hunting is a hell of a thing. Seems like it happens here in Oregon to some poor guy every year or two. I hunt alot where the oriental fella and his family got stuck in the snow and after a week he left and went for help, only to perish. The family was found soon after. Now they've got winter warning signs up all over and they close the road to the coast each November.
I got hypothermia once on an archery goat hunt in Washington and been in tight spots a time or two but thankfully no bad falls or broken bones. Oregon has some treacherous country and blacktails like it. Sorry about your uncle OP. I felt your pain I guess and wanted to help. Glad you're happy with the rifle.
