My Wife's Grandfather, killed him yesterday morning with his .45-70, last year he killed limits in Louisiana and Mississippi, and he can probably out fish you too


Pawpaw died this morning after suffering a severe stroke last Wednesday ( while cleaning his third deer of the season). He was one hell of a sportsman and gave them hell till the end. Another member of the greatest generation gone, he served in WWII on both fronts and will be missed by many

Sorry to hear about your loss. I have lost both of my grandfathers and was given the American flag at my dad's dad's funeral. I look at that flag every morning and thank he and his generation for their sacrifices so that we can have what we have.
