Your dad sounds like a great mentor, he is what life is all about,sharing his skills and asking nothing for it. Congratulations to him!

My dad has been the most selfless, giving, and steady person I have known for as long as I can remember. The one who introduced me to hunting, gave up his tree stands, chances at big bucks, and spent his time investing in me everything he knew about the Outdoors. When I was finally old enough to get after it on my own, instead of diving headfirst back into it, he found another kid and did the same exact thing. Over two decades of selflessness and sacrifice in a sport that selfishness seems almost celebrated at times. You always celebrated character over accomplishment, and the journey over the end result. You taught me to celebrate others kills just as much as my own, and to add value every time you have a chance. 

To be able with to watch you shoot this buck from across the field in a piece of Kansas river bottom permission ground is truly the highlight of my hunting career. It’s a special thing to see a deer of a lifetime fall at the hands of someone who has spent their entire life building others up in the outdoors. There isn’t a more deserving person on the planet and I truly believe the Good Lord knew just that. 

Thank you Dad. 

Thank you Lord.

Thank you Kansas.
