Working link to the full article Hewitt got to the forest on Monday, Nov. 22. At his camp he had a horse trailer for the two horses he had with him. There was also a camper, his truck, feed for the animals and food for him. He planned to spend a week at the camp hunting elk during the day. His wife wasn't expecting him home until Sunday.
On Thursday afternoon, Hewitt's horse lost her footing and slipped on a log. A branch smacked into the back of Hewitt's neck. The horse eventually crashed to the ground, pinning Hewitt underneath her.
