    81, and hunting in a tree stand? Good way to go, and quick too. I should be so lucky.

    sounds like the buddy heater blew him up,
    But I agree, go out fast, doing something you love is a good death.

    RIP ! I understand getting older that your body does not retain warmth and some heaters work,We have a portable heater that shuts down when knocked over but this is something to be more aware of !Wonder if he saw the buck of a lifetime in his scope when explosion occurred ? In any event he went with a smile on his face !

    Or if involving a motorcycle, the obligatory wearing//not wearing/ unknown if wearing a helmet.
    There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.
