Title: KY Opener
Post by: Roost 1 on April 13, 2018, 10:42:21 PM
Well tomor it is....Gonna be an emotional day for me so you guys keep me in your prayers. One of my very best friends and hunting buddies found out last Dec that he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. This guy and myself have traveled the country over turkey hunting, worked together for 25yrs, and basically grew up together since we met at the age of 22. Well I promised him I would do my best to make sure he had not been on his last turkey hunt, if his health would allow him to go. Well God has blessed him enough to this point that he feels like going tomor although the weather is gonna be terrible calling for 3-5" of rain and 25-30mph winds. He had told me earlier in the week that there was no way he could walk very far so I have set up a blind and plan on driving him right to it well before daylight in the morning. Not sure if we will have any luck but I'm gonna enjoy spending time with him either way. I haven't seen him any since mom had her accident in Feb although we have talk and text some. I got a feeling this will be a hunt I'll look back on in the years to come. As usual all thoughts and prayers are appreciated!!

Hope you get to spend some quality time with your hunting buddy. Might be a season to take it easy and talk about the good times you all have had.
