I lost my father unexpectedly in June 2006, and last year was first year hunting without him...he taught me everything... it was a very different and difficult season. I always kept looking, expecting to see him coming down the hills in his orange jacket. I know he is still with me, and your father will be too. Looking over your shoulder and giving you the strength and courage he no doubt had. Take comfort in your faith, and I know you will think of him often in the stillness of the hunt. He will be there for you. He is in a better place now, and he will watch over you.

Take care and my prayers are with you and your family.

Sorry to hear about your father. Sad. May his spirit live on inside you.

You were blessed to have such a great Father. May God be with you.

You have my deepest sympathy. My father died 27years ago and I still miss the fun that we had hunting,fishing and trapping, together, I still go to some of the places that we hunted . You lost a father and a good friend.he will allways be in your heart.

Sorry to hear about your loss.
My Dad passed away nearly 14 years ago,and all the things he taught me and what we shared together always keep him in my mind on many occasions.

Dad got his wish to stay at home until the end. Early this morning he went to be with his Lord. We're grateful that he didn't have much pain and that he died so peacefully.

Dad always treated me the same as my brothers. He taught me to fish, taught me to change a tire before he taught me to drive, he taught me right from wrong, and he led by example. He took every opportunity to point out the beauty of creation that surrounded us, and he taught us to thank God for it. He had a wonderful sense of humour and we laughed together often. He left me with a life time of precious memories.... I have been blessed!

I look forward to being alone in a blind soon, spending time thinking about how my Dad's influence led me into the fields and forests that I love so much. :D
Indeed, sorry to hear of your loss. While I dont know you personally, we are all friends in the sporting field. Solitude can help bring closure sometimes and I hope you get to use that blind....

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I realize that our expressions of sympathy will give small comfort, but it's the best we can do.....
