Wow ! Thanks for all the kind words.
I was blessed to have spent many hunts with Rusty but the two that are burned into my memories are a early season muzzleloader hunt where he took his last deer, a nice 6 point and his last hunt where we spent an evening in a box blind we call the "Tilting Hilton". It was a cool December day just before Christmas. He wasn't feeling his best that evening and I kept watch while he napped on and off. We didn't see anything that evening but that memory will be with me long after father time clouds alot of others.
