2 in 1 day. A 79 year old man died yesterday while dressing an elk he'd shot. It appears to have been natural causes.
Then an an 80 year old man died when his fishing boat sank yesterday. His 65 year old partner made it to shore. They located the boat last night in 100' of water. Diver got down to it today and found him still aboard. No word yet on why it sank.
We've been talking about the guy in CO who's missing. Here are 2 more who went out doing what they liked to do. I'd rather have a heart attack than drown, though.

Sad both cases. I'll keep my eyes open for any followup reports.

Yes it's sad. Prayers to the families.
If it's any consolation, I'd rather go out doing something I love than in a damn nursing home.

They were 79 and 80. I don't feel one bit bad for them. We should all hope to be so lucky.

Sad new for sure. They did leave this place, doing what they liked to do.
RIP fellow sportsmen.

Nothing has been released yet on how the boat sank. I hope it's not something like dementia and forgetting the drain plug until it's too late. My dad was still piloting his boat until his mid 80's when dementia started coming on. I can see him doing something like that. He had severe dementia when he died at 92.

Yes dying in the woods of a heart attack, while hunting, beats the hell out of spending 2 years in a damn nursing home.
Or, 2 weeks in ICU.

If it's any consolation, I'd rather go out doing something I love than in a damn nursing home. Proverbs 16:9 - "A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps." Prayers lifted for the families. Ultimately, God is going to determine how each of us face eternity. But if I have any say in the matter, I would prefer the outdoors versus a nursing home as well...

There's 2 kinds of boaters. Those with a story about forgetting the plug and those who lie about it.
