No words to properly express my feelings. Congrats to you "and your Dad" in taking the goat! CK

Dear Scott

So sorry to hear of your loss, however I am so glad you harvested your trophy in honor of you dad.   When I was a kid my father would take us hunting with him and if it was a Sunday and there was a church close by he would take us there.  I too lost my dad suddently while I was in the military oversees.  I recall him saying one time that he took us to a hunters mass one year before a morning hunt and the priest's sermon was concerning fathers and their sons companionship in the outdoors.  The priest said  " A father who hunts with his son today will not have to hunt for his tommorrow"  I will always remember those words and my father's companionship.  

Vaya Con Dios my friend.  Your dad was your best compadre.

Scott--- Deepest sympathies from myself, Kelly and the boys...I now that your Dad would have wanted you too stay and finish your hunt and know you have a lifelong harvest that has added to the many memories of your father...

  Take care my friend,

                        Mark and Family...

I'm speechless Scott, the message of your story and the words of your father hit home. Prayers for you and your family.

Very nice animal, a fitting tribute to your father.

Scott, lump in my throat , yes sir...hang in there ...in my prayers   marco#78

Scott, I welled up reading your post.  Thank you for sharing that with us.  I am sorry about your father.

Scott,  Moms and Dads are never far away; they will always be there when you need them. It was nice to share a camp with both of you.

Scott...me deepest sympathy on the loss of your father. Ever feel like talking to someone about it you know where to reach me. We definately have to spend a day hunting together. Again, sorry for the loss.

Scott, I am sorry for your loss!! No doubt your Dad would of wanted you to continue to hunt and you did him proud!! God Bless! Shawn

Scott...so sorry to hear.You did right.God bless you both.

Scott,
You're in my prayers. Your father will always be with you.

Scott:

The loss of a parent is a hard thing.  Mine are both gone and I miss them deeply to this day.  It sure sounds like you did what your Dad would have wanted you to do.  When I am in the woods or following the bird dogs I know my Dad is there. Sometimes, I swear I can feel him.  Its neat. Don't be afraid to talk to him.

My deepest sympathy.

Scott,

God Bless.

I'm sure he was right there!
I wear my Dad's ring, every Spring, and we go Rockfishin'together...wore it to my daughter's wedding two weeks ago, too  

Scott,
I am very sorry for your loss. It was a beautiful story, and it sounds to me like you did what you needed to do. As everyone else has said, you did what your father would have wanted you to.

Good luck and God bless. You will be in my prayers.
