This is my backyard and I'm a sheep hunter. It hits close to home. I didn't know the men but probably know some who did.

Two Fairbanks sheep hunters die in plane crash

Grace and Peace to the families and friends of these two during this time of loss.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted...If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job."

Sheep hunting is tough enough,, and as noted,, the conditions in Alaska can change & hurt you quickly. Prayers for the families.
