God, guns, guts......and America
First of all, I have attended funerals like and have felt those same emotions for the old timers that taught me to hunt, mu condolences.
I stopped hunting on public land due to the abuse/carelessness of a few that made it dangerous for all. I attribute that to a lack of upbringing brought about by a lack of family values, single parenting (where the father or mother just walks away from the kids to find themselves) and the entitlement mindset that goes along with too many public subsidies. Not to mention too much too soon, by that I mean many of todays generation do not place a value upon other people's rights or the sight of an undisturbed mountainside in a light snow with whitetail running between the leafless trees. I used to sit and watch that in my favorite spot in Prattsburg NY.
There is no shortage of huge white tail around my house or in this area, in fact there are so many they have become a nusiance. Not many people hunting and when they do many times they are harassed. They have their predators around here too, domesticated dogs belonging to irresponsible owners running them to death, cars, trucks, starvation due to overpopulation and so on. I had one charge the side of my truck in October doing thousands of dollars in damage and get up and run off. That was 200' from my driveway on my way home from work late on a rainy night, he still hangs around my yard. He has a huge rack and runs with a bit smaller eigth point. Hunting has received a bad rap due to a small group of bad people participating in the sport and a media blitz to disarm us all. If they worked as hard at throwing the law breakers in jail we wouldn't have the positive reinforcement society presents now to commit a crime of any type, illegal hunting, rape, robbery or whatever.
God bless your cousin, I hope she has plenty of kin to carry on. She was a true American woman.

Yes she was. I found out she ran the Colorado river several times, but not in some sissy inflatable raft. No she did it in a wooden dory, and she stood to on the oars!!

Mark; it seems ours is a dyeing way. Stained by technology overcrowding and many who simply no longer know the meaning of ethics. A time when the good guys and gals wore white hats. I am reminded of my great great aunt who did much for me and at the same time I am so very thankfull that I have a wife who likes to hunt and loves the out doors. It seems our whole society has become a bunch of go along to get along follow the leader drones who rarely take the time to ask why and even more unusually take a stance. Thank GOD for small town USA. There are many days when I think to myself at 41, my God man you are a dinosaur in your thoughts and then I remember that there are many like me, like us waiting to put our boots and hats on when called upon one last time. sorry for your Loss.

Sorry for your loss. I am sorry for the rest of us too in that we all are better for the presence of good folk and we all lose when one leaves. Take heart though, for as long as we recognize the Good Folk and promote those beliefs we will perservere.
I can only live well and teach my twins to live well and respect the good and recognize and avoid the bad then the world will be a better place. We shoot and hunt and respect the beasts as well as the humans although sometimes it seems the humans are harder to respect in some cases.
There are a fair number of good folk out there, witness this forum.
Again, sorry for your loss and ours....
