Two men go hunting together, die of heart attacks

WENATCHEE, Washington (AP) -- Two elderly men who had gone turkey hunting together died of apparent heart attacks just minutes apart, authorities said.

Elmer Sapp, 78, and Alfred Hurd, 70, were hunting south of East Wenatchee on Monday when Hurd got out of a pickup truck and chased a bird down an embankment.

Sapp followed and found his hunting partner lying on the ground, according to Chelan County Sheriff Mike Harum. Sapp then went back to the pickup, flagged down a motorist, told the motorist what happened and then collapsed.

They may talk of a "New Order" in the  world, but what they have in mind is only a revival of the oldest and worst tyranny.   No liberty, no religion, no hope.   It is an unholy alliance of power and pelf to dominate and to enslave the human race.

That is a really sad situation but at least they died doing something they liked to do and not in some nursing home or retirement home. :(

At least they were enjoying life right up to the end.  

My wife keeps predicting the same for me and my partner.  We keep telling her at least we will die happy.  My partner and I are the same age, we both have heart conditions, breathing problems, overweight, and we go hunting weekly.  Life is too short to sit in a rocking chair and let it catch up to you.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

That is they way I want to go... Well maybe with a young woman instead. Either is just fine with me. My girlfriend say,, when I go off in the woods alone for peace and quiet. What if you die or get injured.. Well If I die, let the perso who finds me have my trusty rifle.. God bless... worry never gets you anywhere.
