I just read this.
Jeff (one of the landowners that we shot prairie dogs on) called me down here in LA a few days ago. Seems that John had Jeff's name and number in his truck. After he passed, his daughter called Jeff to let him know the sad news. She was trying to make sure that everyone with an association with her dad knew.
Sad news. I'm glad I had the opportunity to do some shooting with ol' Deadeye.
