Detroit Lions' Frank Ragnow opens up about grief, loss and healing at skeet shooting event

Growing up, Frank Ragnow was an avid hunter.

He went pheasant hunting with his father, Jon, near his grandmother's house along the Iowa-South Dakota border. He hunted hogs one time during his playing days with the Arkansas Razorbacks.

"Kind of a carnivore, killing your own kind," Ragnow joked.

And he still remembers the first time his brother, Jack, joined him and his dad on a deer hunt with one of his father's friends.

The friend owned a home improvement company, and the quartet used the friend's show trailer as their hunting lodge for the night.
