My Pop has been hunting since 1964. He has taken many deer, but the last few years have been hard on him. He is getting older and it seems that he keeps hurting himself right at bow season. One year it was a torn bicep and the following year it was back pain. When he thought he was finally over all the aches, his hips started giving him problems.

Every year he gets excited and something goes wrong. Finally this year he has been pain free and was able to hunt. Unfortunately things didn't go as planned. During practice he could hit the bullseye every time. For some reason he couldn't hit a deer. He has missed three times this year alone.

Finally last night I get a call and I see it's from my Pop's cell phone. I answered and he was whispering into the phone that he had eight deer come in and he was able to get a shot. Turns out that he hit a very large doe. The shot wasn't the best (neck shot) but the deer went straight down and died. I am so happy for him it's unbelievable.

Like i said, it's been a rough road the last couple of years for him. I couldn't be happier if I shot a booner.
