My nephew is 17 yrs old and shot a 6 pointer the first Sunday of gun season. Here is the story. When he was 15 he had a stroke after a football game and passed out. It was determined that he had a blood clot in his brain. When they tried to break it loose the instrument tip broke off from the tool the doctor was using and lodged in his brain. The doctor said there was not much hope for him and he was flown to kosair childrens hospital in Indianapolis. After a few days Hunter came out of a coma but was paralyzed on his right side. After much therapy and hard work he learned to walk and talk again but his right arm is still paralyzed. He has to shoot left handed and it is very difficult for him to shoot and he has to hunt on the ground with one of his uncles. After all he has been through he still loves to hunt and be in the woods. Since this accident 2 years ago he has shot a turkey and 3 deer. This kid is so patient and would sit all day if you let him. I think hunting and being in the woods is the best therapy for him. I am very proud of him. Sorry about the bad cell phone pic.  |

I know he has changed my outlook on life when I feel down on my luck or cheated on something. It amazes me how happy he is when he is in the woods hunting. It is like it takes his disabilty away and is the best therapy fopr him. Come to think of it being in the woods is my best therapy also. He is just a remarkable kid.
