***WINNER--MOST INSPIRING*** Male Hunter #7


#7 Richard Brown - Rudyard

Buck Stats & important features * 7 point buck - about 175 pounds.

Where did you take this buck? Rudyard, Chippewa Co.

I am submitting this for my husband. He had his leg amputated in Sept. after a long year of surgeries trying to save it. He was supposed to finally get his prosthetic the Monday deer season opened but the doctor took that day off to hunt. He has a deer stand out back as we have enough property he has always hunted out back. Being determined to hunt he rode the four wheeler to the stand and climbed up the ladder each morning and evening. Tuesday morning, he says, he saw nothing - then the sun came up. Suddenly there was deer walking around in the field then he saw the buck he wanted to shoot. It took two shoots to put it down, rode the four wheeler back to it with our two smaller childern. He climbed off gutted it and tied it to the four wheeler to bring it back home. I am proud of my husband as with all that has happened this year (and just last week lost his mother) he has not let it get his down. He doesn't think of himself as disabled, he may not be able to carry things himself but there isn't much of anything else he can't do.
He did get his prosthetic a week ago and is doing very well getting used to walking again.
