Matt,

I just can't say how proud I am of you.  Not for killing the deer, but for the way you did it your way.  Built your own bow, hunted from the ground and didn't give up when it would have been easy to do it.

Good Job!!

Mike

Great story. Ive been through some of the same adversity you have and it makes me feel good to see someone get the monkey off their back. Hopefully this stupid monkey on my back will pack up and leave next season   :pray:  .
