I'll tell you guys something. I've been hunting with these guys for alotta years and been there for several big bucks. I've NEVER heard Barry as excited as he was yesterday when he called me from the stand minutes after the shot. He was trying to whisper but was about to bust!
You know a guy is into it when after all these years and all these big deer, he still gets giddy when the goal is met and the challenge is fulfilled.
He went all out for this deer and passed up bucks I would give a finger for in his quest. I'm proud of him as if he were my own brother. Persistance and perseverance.
