One evening he didn't return to his house. Long story short, I found him dead in his treestand later that night from an apparent heart attack.

Needless to say, this season was a bummer for me. But for whatever reason, when I seen this thread and realized that new blood replaces old blood, I began to think more rationally.

Thanks for getting that young man interested and thanks again for a great post.
