My turning point was the beginning of the 2001 hunting season. After 15 years of deer hunting and many oppurtunities to shoot a wallhanger I had nothing to show for it. I had managed to shoot something every year and I was proud of each one, but I wanted something to hang on the wall. Every time I had a chance at a big one something went wrong. So I prayed to God at the beginning of the 2001 season and asked him to give me some sort of sign to let me know if I should keep hunting after that season was over. In November of that year I shot a nice 8-point and forgot all about my prayer until I got the deer home and realized it had a white spot in the shape of a C on the front of its neck under the normal white spot. That just happens to be the initial of my first name. So I continued to hunt. 2002 produced an 11 point, and 2003 a 9 point. They all hang on my living room wall and remind me every day the power of prayer and faith. I can achieve nothing on my own, but anything is possible with help from above.
