Brian was a friend of mine. I was teaching him how to hunt coyotes this past winter. He was a great young man with a beautiful wife and two young daughters, 4 years old and 2 months old. He was shot just up the road from my house. He's had lots of problems with trespassers latley and he was shot by one today. His younger friend Jason was also shot in the eye and not doing well.
