Sorry about the confusion....the "ten years and two days" refers to what happened to me...here's a few threads from the "classics" forum...

Thanks for all the well wishes, congrats, and support!

Yes, I was "unlucky" to get shot...but since day one I've said I was the luckiest guy in the world that day because I made it through it, and have had so many wonderful experience with family and friends since then!

This is the result of the follow-up shot...

Read a few of the threads from a decade ago! Crazy story! Cade hasn't changed much other than a hundred pounds and 4 feet.... but boy was he a cute kid! You're a blessed guy Curt!

Congrats on the deer. Sorry to hear about the accident, what happened to the kid that shot you?
I can see how things like that can happen. Son came home early from hunting and told me two guys were trespassing with shotguns on our lot. He was afraid to get out of the tree, didn't want to be mistaken for a deer. No shotgun season was open, just poachers.Not even safe on a small acreage on private property.

Curt great job. A lot has changed and Cade has really come into his own in the last ten years. I will never forget the first time we hunted after you were shot. I still don't think your wound was healed but you needed to be in the woods again. I'm sure somewhere there is a picture but mine was lost in a computer crash. Here's to another fourty years of memories.....

Curt never knew about the accident WOW! Glad to see your back out there and getting it done. I really admired how quick you made that follow up shot. I hate watchin  an animal thrash as the camera pans back to some Bozo freaking out while the deer suffers. Very ethical and clean kill.

Curt, very sorry to make you relive it, I didn't know. I give you a lot of credit going back into the woods for hunting, and very happy you have been able to handle well, especially for your son.

A long time ago a friend told me a story about a day he was hunting, it was up in Rosco N.Y. It was bow season and he was standing next to a tree, maybe a foot or less from it. He said he heard a noise like someone was throwing a stone through the trees as it hit various branches and leaves, and then a thud sound. He heard it 3 or 4 times then realized the thud sound was bullets hitting the tree he was standing next to, he said he never heard the shots. Needles to say he got out of there quick.

Good for you, and keep up the great posts you put up here.

Great follow up shot Curt! Never thought about a spine shot before, I am sure it will happen to me someday. Getting off a second fast and accurate shot will be something I will keep in mind and practice at. Thanks for sharing that video. Congrats on a nice size spike!!

You know you got that second shot off in 8 sec. Nice!!!!!!
