I have been involved in hunting for as long as I can remember. At 5-8 years of age, I was bird dog for my mom and dad on Nov pheasant hunts. Blasting away at pop cans at deer and elk camp, and enjoying incredible rabbit hunts in the late 60?s and early 70?s, when we would shoot 50-100 rabbits in a day. I loved hunting, and mule deer were my favorite.
You never really see the time when it will end and you plan that final outing. At 15, I was there on my grand father?s last stand, and it left me with a deep sad feeling. At 22, my hunting life nearly ended with a freak motorcycle accident that left me paralized from the neck down with limited use of my arms. I'm not even 50 years old, but 27 years as a quadriplegic in a wheel chair has taken its toll and left my body well used up. In those 27 years, I've had about 10 difficult but rewarding hunting trips. I've known the day was fast approaching when I'd have to take my last stand, and when the DWR called to tell me I was an alternate for a great deer tag, I decided to burn my 7 points and burn up some powder. This would be my Last Stand.
