Here's a better pic of that pepper box

Losing someone you care about fucking sucks. There's no way around that. Take some time to just grieve. Go out and honor his memory. Shoot those guns. Go fishing. Find a new buddy to bullshit and go to the range with. His memory lives on with you. This is what he would want.

Lost a very good mate to the black dog a couple weeks ago
Best advice I got is to talk it out with close friends/ family members. Don't try to drink it away, if you feel sad, feel sad. Don't try to push it away.
Pain shared is pain divided.

>>34772780
I'm just glad that he was surrounded by his closest friends and family. We had all his fishing and hunting buddies at the house because we could all feel he didn't have much longer.

>>34772787
I don't drink and my mamaw, she's a wreck right now so I'm just trying to stay strong for her. I'm only almost 19 and I've just been handed a whole hell of a lot of responsibility. I was talking to my great uncle today sitting on my uncles porch and he looked at me and said " You've got a whole lot resting on your shoulders, do what he would want" and I'm trying, I just feel lost and I don't know what to do. Hell, I'm still a kid.

>>34772761
Tell us about his guns, I bet they have some stories to tell.

>>34772761
You just move on and keep remembering the times you enjoyed. You keep those guns until you pass them down your family too, they will always be good memories for you.

It has been a while since I went through what you're going through. Still haven't filled that void that you're experiencing. Probably never will. Just keep going man.

>>34772761
putting a knife on a gun makes it a nfa
I'm telling the police

>>34772855
I haven't even had a chance to see what all he's got desu. I think he's got a .22-250 for deer hunting because I remember him taking me to the range with him a couple of years ago to sight it in before deer hunting. I know he's also got a little pistol that he concealed carried. I haven't had the chance to go through his things and I just hate having to do all this. I'd trade everything to have him back. Nary anyone had anything but good things to say about him. He was a good ole boy who'd do anything he could to help you, but he wouldn't ever ask anyone for help. I know he's got all sorts of money hidden around his house and all sorts of guns. He had our cousin take one of his deer skulls and make a lamp out of it. I'll try and get a pic tomorrow. He loved hunting and fishing and he was contrary as hell. If you didn't keep a conversation going or you didn't piss him off, I swear he wouldn't talk at all. He hated large groups unless he was drunk and I remember he gave me my first porno as a kid lol he also went to a titty bar and took his Polaroid camera with him and got me a nudie pic. He was wild as hell, but he loved his family and we loved him. I'm just happy I was there to make his last days as comfortable as I could and do what I could for him. The last things he ate today were a few bites of biscuits and gravy, banana pudding which he said every time he went to take a bite, it bit him back because he was so doped up that he was getting it all over, and some KFC. He could only eat a few bites, but I could tell he was happy as a lark. I hate that we couldn't take him fishing one last time, but I know he'll be bringing me luck whenever I go hunting or fishing. I'm gonna miss him as is everbody else, but I'm glad he's not suffering anymore and I know he's gonna be doing all the hunting, fishing, and shooting that he wants now. He wasn't saved or anything, but if anyone deserves to get let in through those pearly gates, it's him.

>>34772899
That's all you can do. It never gets easier, but you learn to live with it. I had to fight with my mamaw to call his hospice nurse and I stepped outside to call 911 because I didn't want her hear me on the phone with them. She's lost two of her boys to cancer and she lost her daughter when her daughter was only eight months old. She's like a mom to me and all she has left is my dad and me. My dads currently in jail, but we got him home for a few hours today to see my uncle and my uncle put his own shirt on and sat up straight and proud and talked to him and took a picture with him and did his best. I've got to tell my dad today when I go see him what happened and I just hope that he knows that I did my best to comfort my uncle as he died.

Sorry for your loss man, you should go out and shoot to honor him. After a while you can go a day without feeling sad, then you wake up and start crying for no reason. The pain will go away, and you will remember but never forget that great old man. A new hunting buddy will be provided eventually and you can show him your uncle's legacy. Stay strong and stay optimistic!

>>34772926
even though hell doesn't exist that's where he is

>>34772943
He wasn't old at all. He was only 41, thank you for the support though Anon. Taking on all this responsibility, it's a lot more than I ever expected I'd have to do. My mamaw is going to deed everything over to me after we pay it off so I'll have around 20 or so acres of my own land after adding what he had to my current eleven acres. I've got a great little shooting house out back for hunting and I've got a big pond for deer to drink from and I know that he's always gonna be looking out for me. He made sure his pond was stocked with catfish, bass, and blue gill. He set me up with a shit load of catalpum trees with all sorts of worms on them. Perfect fish bait. I've got my own little slice of heaven on earth.

>>34772761
Cancer is shitty. I've lost alot of people important to me by it. I'm sorry for your loss.

>>34772978
And that is his gift to you, which he has been preparing since the day you were born. Funny how some things like a steady supply of worms can become such a valuable thing once you realise what you inherit, isn't it?

>>34772998
It sure is. Catfish love them. They keep the flies away too. We've got a big tree right in his front yard and the ground turns black every year from those worms, but right underneath that tree is some of the greenest and thickest grass I've ever seen.

>>34772840
As far as ways to die go, it sounds like you gave him the best anyone could hope for. He didn't die alone. The people that he cared about were with him until the end of the line. You did good. Now it's up to you to carry on his legacy.

>>34772992
Thank you Anon. He'll surely be missed. He went out his way though and that's what matters.

>>34772957
Seriously dude? Really? You gotta be that guy?

>>34773026
I know. I'm going to try my best to make him proud. I was actually planning on going squirrel hunting with the Stevens .410-22 he gave me when I was a kid. I remember being only about knee high to a grasshopper and tromping through fields with him rabbit hunting with that gun. Me and him had a lot of good times and I'm gonna miss him. I'm gonna have to start going fishing with his buddies more now that he's gone just to skunk them the way he did. He wouldn't have it any other way.

>>34773040
Good. That is all you can do, and it's more than enough.

>>34773052
I had all of my fishing poles stolen about a year ago and I know he was wanting to go fishing with me a while back, but we never got around to it. He got to feeling bad and we didn't know he had cancer, but I think he knew. I think it's sort of the same way he knew he was dying. I know that tomorrow I'm gonna go sit at my pond and throw out a line for him. It won't be the same without him, but I know he'll be smiling down on me. He'd kick my ass if I ever let that pond get in bad shape so I've got a lot of studying up to do on pond maintenance. He never was one to let his stuff ruin. He was proud of the things he owned and it showed. Anytime he'd show me a new gun, he'd immediately wipe off any fingerprints on it. He couldn't stand to have dirty guns or fishing poles. He absolutely hated it lol

>>34773063
Sounds like a good man.

>>34773066
He was. He gave me my first Jeep because he knew I couldn't afford it on my own. I just don't know what I'm going to do without him. He was loved by everyone. I'm trying to get into the Marine Corps to pay for my college since I can't afford it and I plan to just stay pretty close to home and take care of everything after college. I'd like to major in history and just sort of focus on military history or American history and I'd like to eventually buy all the land my great grandpa had before he sold it to build our property back up. At one time, he owned quite a bit of land. My family has lived in the same place since it was settled though so it's not too surprising. My great grandpa had himself a still where he made some extra money on the side and he's the one who really instilled the love of the outdoors in my dad and uncle who have passed it on to me. They used to tell me stories about him moving through the woods like an Indian and being a really good shot. They said he loved brains. Especially pig and squirrel brains. My mamaw said that growing up, her and her sisters would fight over squirrel brains lol

>>34772906
Are you an ARfag?

If youre still here anon, im sorry for your loss. I wanted to say that in my experiences, some family might want to take things that he rightfully left you. Just be careful.

>>34773035
you can't let right wingers infect k

>>34774144
"We from /k/ are a progessive board right"? Do not bring politics or whatever into this, a fellow gun enthusiast died today and that is a bad thing

Copious amounts of alcohol and fucking strangers.

>>34774144
Are you drunk?

>>34773895
I know all about it. I'm watching everyone like a damn hawk.

>>34774185
I don't drink and have a long term girlfriend. Once everything settles down I'm gonna go fishing in his pond and just relax and enjoy myself. It's what he'd do. Maybe go to a strip club since he never got to take me lol

>>34772957
But how can that be where he is if it doesn't exist anon? Seriously, I know this is 4chan, but some of you faggots are trying way too hard. Just go back to your body pillow and leave the rest of the world alone. Deep down, you know that's all you really want, and trust me, the rest of the world wants it too.

>>34774234
Some strip clubs require you to be 21 to enter. Also it's a really fast way to blow through $200 just to see a naked woman dance on a stage. Can't go wrong with the pond fishing though.

>>34774254
We have one in Lexington that's 18 and up. I didn't plan on taking much.

>>34772761
I know that feel anon, my grandfather passed a couple months ago. It was what he really wanted though, he never really did get over losing all his friends in Korea. Just make sure you get all your grieving out now so it doesn't come back to bite you later. Also sort out the will asap before some dick family member inevitably tries to claim his stuff as theirs.

>>34774396
He didn't have a will, but my mamaw is going tomorrow to get power over his estate. I don't think anyone would try to get anything, but you can't never tell.

Alright, OP here, I inherited a Ruger .25-06, a Thompson Center .243, a Savage Model 187 Series A, a Savage .410 single shot, and a brand new Glock 43.

This board needs a re branding from weapons to clinical depression and firearms, sorry for your loss op

>>34774144
Half of /k/ is "right wing" by your let-kids-cut-their-cocks-off-and-call-themselves-jenny standards, the rest are newfags and pieces of shit like you who disrespect the memory of a man because of a political agenda

Here's your (You), now leave.>>34774185

>>34777289
Thanks Anon. We're going tomorrow to get everything figured out. I guess he had a girlfriend we didn't know about and I had to call her.

>>34772761
In time, the pain'll pass, the real thing is to make the most of all he gave you. Don't ever sell those guns, that jeep, or that land. Improve it, care for it , restore it, make something of it. Tell your kids lots of stories about him.

>>34773088
Don't major in something that isn't going to get you employed. Do what you're good at, don't do what you live.

>>34772761
Sorry anon. That's a shitty thing to happen. It sounds like you gave him the best send-off he could have hoped for, though.

>>34778047
I've been taking care of everything since my dad has been in jail. We didn't know he was sick, but I've done my best to take care of my land.

>>34778102
I'm good at talking about history. My uncle and I would sit for hours and talk about old guns, different wars, all sorts of things. I may try and become a history teacher. Just something to pay the bills.

>>34778158
I tried and that's all a man can do.

>>34772957
Oh wow look everyone, a wild cunt.

OP here, if the weather is good tomorrow I plan on going out and shooting to help clear my head. I'm just stressed right now and I don't have any clue what to do. I'm going to try and do everything the way my uncle would have because I know he left everything to me for a reason. I think he believed in me enough to give me everything knowing I would take care of it all.
