I've met the young man who was killed. A friend of mine took him under his wing and brought him out here elk hunting a few times. Was friends with his dad. Great family and tragic beyond words.
I was told he was walking out of the bush, backpack on and rifle slung over his shoulder. Mistaken for a spiker.
I hope the young man responsible can step up and live a life worthy of two. What's done is done.
