Jordan's First Buck Jan.,2009
On Sat. Jan 17, 2009 "A Hunt Above" took Jordan, a 15 year old from Mendenhall, MS. to Holmes County, MS. for a deer hunt. He was diagnosed in January 2008 with Aggressive B-Cell Lymphoma. He has been in remission since Sept.
That Saturday morning started off in a 2 man stand overlooking a lane in some mature pines. Around 7 am Jordan tells Mike Macko (Director of "A Hunt Above") that he sees a deer and about 20 yards from them is a yearling doe. They watch her as she crosses the lane and walks off. Mike told Jordan that it looks like it's going to be a good morning. Around 9 am Mike see a deer coming down a hill towards them and tell Jordan that it's a good size doe. He gets ready, but as the deer gets closer Mike thinks he saw some spikes coming from the deer's head. Sure enough when it steps in the lane, it's a spike and Jordan decides to pass on this deer. He was shaking so much Mike thought he was going to fall out of the tree. They did not see anymore deer that morning so they went back to camp.
After warming up and eating a brunch and a little nap they headed out to West Wynne Farms and got in the "Shooting House" that Mr. Wynne has on his pond dam.
       
They weren't in there 10 minutes and the first deer appears and it's a small doe. They ended up seeing 9 deer, 2 bucks and 7 does. Well since Jordan had never harvested a buck they decided they would watch the biggest buck in the field (a 3 point) , the other was a spike. If no larger buck would show itself, Jordan we would take the 3 point.
At 5:07 pm they decided it was time and Jordan shot the buck and it jumped about 5 feet in the air. Mike told Jordan to shoot again and he did and knocked it down. Congrads on your first buck Jordan.
       
Thank all for your support and prayers. We ask that you continue to pray for Jordan and he's family.
May God Bless
