Hunt Story
This hunt took place one day before I am to see my surgeon. I was diagnosed two months ago with liver cancer. I started deer hunting in the early 60s, only limited counties had a deer season. Since then I have harvested more than 100 deer. Five years ago I was diagnosed with colon cancer, after that I just about quit hunting. Two years ago four family members got together and we decided to find a lease. I got on the computer and found this lease in Marion County. There are some nice bucks and does on this property but nothing we wanted to harvest. This was a mountable buck and it may be my last, so I decided to take him. The meat will be good and I will enjoy him on my wall. Thank you GON for a great magazine. I have been a subscriber for more than 20 years. Keep up the good work.
