Lost my teacher today
I think I feel as depressed as I ever have in my life. One of my best friends died today. I know our relationship was unusal because he was 83 and I am 32 but he was a monsterous influence on my life. He was the one who inspired me to hunt. His stories about deer hunting in the old days made me want to go.
When I got old enough too hunt. He was my teacher. He told me almost unbelievable things about deer and coyote habits, which as I got older proved to be unbelievable truths. I can say without him I would never be the hunter I am.
He was not related and had no family tie but he want to teach me everything about the outdoors(hunting and fishing). Do any of you have or had an influence like my friend Cotton? I'd like to hear about them.
