Lightning, Hunting, and the Harsh Lessons of the Mountains
When two hunters in Colorado, Andrew Porter and Ian Stasko, recently lost their lives during a lightning storm, it shook the hunting community. If you don’t know their story, they were archery elk hunting together in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado when they went missing. Search and Rescue teams spent days combing the rugged terrain after their GPS device stopped transmitting. Eventually their bodies were found, with signs of burn damage and melted clothing that pointed to a strike.
