I have to admit that I am still learning how Camo Space works and I am useing my son's computer. I had a horrific hunting accident in1989 where I fell 34 feet from a red oak tree where I had a limb brake with me. I had hunted eariler that morning but was just working on a permenant stand when I fell. I broke my back, spinal cord came out of the canal, my chest swelled over 12 inces out, I cracked or broke all ribs. Then I had to walk a mile and a quarter to get help. After getting to one hospital then air lifted to another and after a MRI the doctors put me in a room to die. After five days I was still alive so they went in and after 13 and 1/2 hours of surgery later I made it. I have had several more surgeries since and have the T12 thru L4 fused and hurt every waking moment but I try not to dwell on the pain and fill so fortunant to be walking, much less not in a grave. I have three incredible kids, three really incredible grandchildren and as long as I can walk and get around I will still do my one and only passion of Bow Hunting. As a country we have all struggled but be thankful for what you have and aspecially your family. We have to count on family now more than ever. My dream is to work in the hunting industry and I lost my job after 28 years of service so I am praying my dream will become a reality pretty soon so I can do what I love so much and have fun doing it for once in my life besides working doing what I really did not want to do anymore. I have been bowhunting only since 1986 and have gotten to hunt in six different states all on public land and have taken over 100 animals with my bow so I fill I have been very blessed while hunting with stick and arrow. Every hunt is special even if you do not get a shot or even see game because I am in the woods where I would rather be no where else in the world. I am at peace and everthing is rightif you are hunting. Please write me and share some stories sometime, Be Safe This Hunting Season, Scott

Thank you for the note. I really appreciate it so much and I really appreciate that you will keep me in your thoughts and prayers. God had a plan for me and that is the only reason I did not die and was not paralized. It is still hard each and every day because of pain and that gets old but I try not to dwell on it too much because I have such a great family and have the great fortune to have watched my three kids grow up since the accident. I have married off my two daughters and have three great grandchildren now and get to spend a great deal of time with each of them and get to watch them grow up now. Thanks Again And Send A Note Anytime, Scott

Wow, Scott, you are really lucky.  It's great that you are still actively pursuing the sport of hunting.  I mean, so many of us take for granted the gift.  So many in perfect health, yet just can't manage to take the time to get out there and enjoy it.  You have had great luck in hunting, too.  Congrats to you my friend!  I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.  May you enjoy many more great hunting seasons!
