I was blessed to have carried my oldest daughter on a few hunts this year. We started the year off in February at the NWTF convention together. I bought her a new turkey vest and a nice box call. She got to work a bird with her granddad using that call.

When I lost her on April 30th I thought that I wouldn't ever want to hunt again. My brother said it best. Is that what she would have wanted?

Thanks for all the prayers guys. I hope we can get together again next year.
