I remember when I lost a hunting buddy during firearms season....... I know the feeling and I am sorry for your loss.

I agree with the other guys that, as i am sure your thinking anyway, it is more important to be with the family now. HOWEVER, do not look past your need to grieve in your way. I spent some time in the woods myself, and I found it to be a very important part of dealing with the whole thing.

If it is any consolation to you, I had a heck of a time with my setup in the woods this weekend as well. Crap happens at the worst time. Ting ting ting as an arrow falls to the ground while hitting every branch.... Crash, as hit hits a limb I didn' t see.... etc etc...

My prayers are with you and your friends family.
