A special deer harvest

Heck yeah man!
What better way to celebrate five weeks in the hospital than to go deer hunting with your Son....and nab a really nice 8 point.
I’ll bet the yearning for the hunt helped you get through it.

....and your Wife laughed when you said “Bye Hon....we’re hitting the woods!” while most other men would be complaining woe is me.
 
Awesome for overcoming and adapting.
A lot of men would be sitting at home feeling sorry for themselves.
You have a fine son also. A good reason to set a good example.
 
Great buck! Putting that effort into getting that deer, and showing your son how to put your head down and grind when it’s so easy not too. You sir are a true role model!

So while laying in the hospital in February after having my left leg amputated I was thinking about all the things I would no longer be able to do. I was fitted for a prosthetic leg and June and decided that I would not let anything stop me from being a husband, father and hunter. I made it my goal to harvest a good buck this year and put in the time. My son Mason helped set up a ground blind and trim some shooting lanes. We put out bag after bag of corn trying to draw the deer to an 80 acre tract of land in Upson County. Well this morning Mason made it a point to get up and go with me. At 704 this nice 8 Pointer stepped out and gave me a shot. He is not the biggest we had on camera by any means but a mighty fine deer in my opinion. He's not the largest I have killed but this may be the best harvest I have ever had after overcoming five grueling weeks in the hospital and seven different surgical procedures. I thank the good Lord for blessing me this morning and more importantly for allowing me to stay around a little bit longer!View attachment 2918654 View attachment 2918656 View attachment 2918659
