Faith Hayes with her first Wyoming hunting harvest, which was harvested with Bryan's gun.
a pronghorn and cow elk in his 12th year of life.
The smiles of each and every hunter, young and old,
now have a connection with the joy that many of
us remember in Bryan.
Hunter recruitment is an issue at the forefront
of conservation efforts around the nation. As a
professional wildlife photographer and guide, I
shudder to think what will happen to our wildlife
when numbers of sportspeople become so low
that management efforts can no longer be funded
by hunter and nonconsumptive user dollars. The
separation from the natural world that plagues our
nation's youth will have a negative impact in coming
decades if we as outdoorspeople don't make it our
mission to introduce and educate young people
about the lives lived around them every day, the
otherwise invisible existence of the wild things that
make Wyoming the wonder it is.
Bryan did that for me. He gave me the push to
think outside of myself and get new people into the
field. Bryan would have continued to put others
before himself. It is in his memory I will continue
to do the same. He is a man worthy of such a legacy.
