Everything went as planned and we were contacted by her daughter yesterday. For all those involved thank you it wouldn't have happen without you. I'd like to share what happen with y'all and you tell me if GOD wasn't involved. My father in-law was a guide and outfitter out of Evanston Wyoming he passed away just a few days before his 72nd birthday, one of the last true Mountain men. His passion was hunting and fishing and he lived the dream in the beautiful mountains of Wyoming. Bill had been at his favorite camp called the Honey Hole 20 miles of hard rideing on horse back and an all day trip. He was in camp sitting in a chair when he passed. He' been at that camp since since the first of September and had about a week to go before he came back down. It was reported he passed away Friday but search and rescue didn't get him off the mountain until Saturday afternoon. My partner once he found out demanded we head out to the hanger, the pilots already had the plane warmed up and ready to go. Since Bill was to be cremated there was a very short window for us to Fly into Evanston to view the body. When we arrived we contacted Bills wife and in the conversation about times and details she mentioned there were several Moose bedded down in her front yard. We met Susan at the funeral home and when the viewing was over we followed Susan back to the house and there were 5 Moose standing in front with one young bull blocking the front door. Once there they just all wandered off. I know we all have our own views of GOD and they may differ but what I saw yesterday will re-tune anybodies thinking. There's at least 60 houses in that development yet that was the house they choose to stay, later when talking to his oldest son he said Bill never hunted moose he just didn't think it was fair. It's almost like the moose came in to pay their respects and guard his family until they could come together in peace for Bills journey into his next world, when their job was done they just quietly walked off. Call it an act of God or an act of Nature but it was deeply moving in it's own way. Rest in Peace Bill Sanders, you were loved by all. A couple of pic's of his friends and guardians. mooseinyard Mooseinyard2
