This year has been the hardest year of my life. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in January that I’ve been fighting since, my health has been a rollercoaster the entire time - battling pneumonia, infections and sicknesses every week, not being able to workout or even see the inside of a gym, and am in the process of being medically discharged from a career in the military that I have done very well and worked very hard In. My mental health has been taxed as much if not more than my physical health and the only way I have been able to maintain is through my family, friends, and faith.

I knew going into this season it would be hard. I knew I would be very limited In what I could do. I only hunt public land and with the amount of pressure faced I did not expect much. But I pushed on.

I put In over six miles yesterday and ten today, dragging my body each step I could manage. The pain of this year kept me going. just wanted a win. The hard work and perseverance paid off and I was able to harvest this mature buck with the 7PRC I built before getting sick.

No matter how bad it is sometimes. Just keep pushing forward. One step at a time.
