A Hunt that Turned Heavy

Sad news about the Colorado hunters….

What began as a backcountry elk hunt in southern Colorado ended in heartbreak—25-year-olds Andrew Porter and Ian Stasko, who went missing after severe storms swept through the Rio de los Pinos area, were found deceased after days of search efforts, according to Denver7.
