Christmas Morning Hunt Ends In Close Call
A Yukon tale from ten years past recounts Charley and his wife Nelly in Montana near Helena. While hunting a fat doe in snow and ice, Charley slips 250 feet down a mountain gulch with a loaded Winchester in hand, narrowly stopping when his firearm jams on a pine as he shields his family. He recalls the danger, his wife awaiting at home with their baby, and the grim moment of chance that could have changed everything. The incident underscores luck, risk, and a near-matal tragedy amid a simple holiday hunt.
