Matt is very good at putting us in front of his hunting, which makes his big week in November all the better.  Him and his great friend Matt Strayer were headed down to Matt's farm for the week.  Matt had to come back for a few days in the middle to celebrate T's birthday and then was going to head back that same night (they're crazy... leaving at 9 or 10 at night, driving three hours, and then up in a stand before dawn the next morning).  Anyways, it was a good thing he was home because I woke up the day before T's birthday with the flu.  He stayed an extra night for me and then was going to try and take off the next morning.  We went back and forth as to when he was going to go since I was having hard time kicking the flu.  I was feeling ok on Wednesday morning so he headed out.  Good thing because that same night he encountered this deer and took him home.  Him and Matt called him 'Lucky' before they shot him because they had had him at 20 yards twice already this season with some bad luck that prevented them from getting him earlier.  We're proud of our deer-huntin'-lovin man (and dad)!
