I'm sorry, the little hunter on the far right is the landowner's son. He and Tyler are great friends and went to the NC State Baseball Championships this past summer. He has killed 3 bucks from the farm this year.

God bless and thanks for reading.

I really can't explain the emotions that ran through me as Tyler worked so diligently to get Joe unstrapped and his gun loaded. It seemed like it took Joe an hour to make the shot, but when the bullet made contact, I felt a rush of accomplishment for Tyler and Joe that I just can't explain with words. I wish that each and every one of you could have been there. We had the same experience with 3 more hunters on the same trip and each had it's "special" moments. I don't see Joe as handicapped, given the opportunity, he is just as capable of harvesting a deer as you and I, he just needs a little help and that is what all of us are here for. Once again, you wanna feel an overflow of joy? Find a hunt in your area in 08 and donated your time and as Flbuckmaster said" better yet, if you have a small place, sponsor a hunt yourself". It doesn't have to be a huge event, it only takes a few big hearts. I can't wait until next season so that we can volunteer and participate in these hunts again. Thanks again Jay for getting my feet wet

.

God Bless you all,
