    Still praying.
    It's not enough to simply tolerate the 2nd Amendment as an antiquated inconvenience. Caring for the 2nd Amendment means fighting to restore long lost rights.

    Hey guys, update for everyone. Things took a turn over the last couple and I've been so distracted by what's going on in my own life I failed to post what was going on.

    Tuffy passed in his sleep last night. He got to make some choices so it was in his own terms. I think he was ready to go.

    More details to come. Going into church with my family in a few.

    My goodness, prayers for the family and all involved. Very saddened to hear this.

    Looks like God granted him calm clear weather before the end. A lot of times it seems God gives folks a little peaceful break before it's time for him to take them on. I've seen it quite a few times over the years with family and others I've known.

    We have lost another truly great sportsman and conservationist. He truly cared and loved our natural resources. Many turkeys can rest a lot easier today. A giant world of information and knowledge has been lost forever with his passing! Please save me a spot in that special hunting and fishing preserve! You will be missed my friend! My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this special time..........

    Well said. He truly was a wealth of conservation knowledge. Godspeed, Tuffy.

    Agreed on points my both Merg and Duckman.

    So basically on Friday the update I got was the last chest tube that was still in place was never going to be removed and that his condition would require round the clock care creating a situation where Tuffy was never going to get to go home. Given the circumstances they presented some options, and he chose the one that resulted in a morphine drip and staying as comfortable as possible for as long as possible. He worked with his sons to get his affairs in order, then let nature take its course. Only a choice few got to visit these last few weeks and that was his choice as well. I think he didn't really want anyone to see him in that condition and was just tired of fighting. Making his choices like he did allowed him to die with some dignity.

    He slept much of the day Saturday. Then he went back to sleep again that evening and early this morning his breathing had changed and shortly thereafter doctors confirmed he had passed.

    I'll let everyone know when the service(s) will be if anyone's interested in paying respects.

    Really sorry to hear this news, but glad Tuffy got the opportunity to make his own decision. I only hunted with Tuffy once, but always respected him as a person, and for his dedication to conservation.

    Godspeed, Tuffy...

    Our condolences to the family.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
