A wonderful story with a happy ending about a very exceptional young man for sure. Being a wrestler it does not surprise me that he has a toughness about him and a can do spirit. I could'nt pray for a better Buck than he got and I share in his excitement and success. Two thumbs up for the young man!

I am always happy for any hunter that is able to shoot a nice deer, but IMHO he isn't blind. He was able to see a deer at 122 yards thru a scope well enough to shoot it and to me that isn't blind. Great that he managed the shot with his disabilities, but don't call him blind. Maybe he has 50% or 30% vision, but not blind. Another nit-picky thing, I don't know of any company that makes a .270 in 180 grains.
