I looked up toward the west this morning. This is the third year in a row that I will not venture up into God’s country to seek the solace of nature. But, the surgery appears successful. Perhaps next spring I will again be able to pull my bow; feed myself; my girlfriend; my friends that cannot get game themselves for so many reasons.
Jeffery Cambell is a youngster. He was not afraid of my fifty four caliber Thompson black powder rifle when I offered to allow him to shoot it out at the Golden Gun Club so many years ago. He has made the rifle his own, and I granted it to him this year. He will hunt the great Wapiti of the rockies with it. Perhaps now he will be the hunter for we the elders.
Soon, the season will end. Jeff will leave us to serve our nation. He passed the entrance exams for Airborne. God bless him.
