One of the Best is Gone
Today my great friend David "Book" Bookout, and hands down the best turkey hunter I have ever been around, lost his short battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He was diagnosed exactly 1 week ago today. Life support was removed shortly ago, and he stepped across to whatever is on the other side. I hurt, but am at the same time at peace with it because everything that could have been done was done ... and if anyone could have fought this off long enough for aggressive treatment to start, Book could have. Come March 15, 2012 (Good Lord willing)... I'll be in the woods well before sun rise, standing in the roadway where he and I have started many a morning ... waiting in patiently in the tall pines and listening carefully for a morning gobble. And I'll be thinking of Book for sure. Dam&, I am going to miss him.
