Congrats! I have never talked to anybody who could have shot a bow that fast after by pass surgery, good job. The flower thing is really cool.

Thanks for all the well wishes. The shot was from a ladder stand. I did get help getting him out.

I shot him on the 2nd last day of muzzle loader season in MO. That morning I was gonna ML hunt but when I popped a primer before loading the charge the bolt froze up solid. I spent a while trying to get it working to no avail. The morning hunt got canned. I had planned on a bowhunt after the last day of ML season but no second ML so bow it was for the afternoon. It was my first bowhunt since about 10/15 when all this started.

I just gotta feel that somebody wanted me to go bowhuntng that day with the sequence of events that happened. When I couldn't get the gun working the thought entered my mind that it maybe was meant to be a special day.

It was.....

John, don't know about the snow flower but I really liked your story.  It really represents what we all love here, being out in the woods, a fine wooden bow and a properly placed arrow with a quick recovery.  I'm not a huge Ted Nugent fan but I will have to quote him "It's perfect".

Congratulations on a great deer. It is great to see that you are healing up well. The key to healing is attitude and you sir have the right attitude.

Good job John! Like others, I was not aware of your bypass surgery. You been keeping a secret from us! Sorry for what you been through and hope you continue to recuperate.

Congratulations on your recovery and your hunt.  I am a little disappointed on the Snow Flower explanation.  I thought the snow fairy made them to reward those who go outside in the cold.
