[QUOTE="wv270wsm, post: 2933728, member: 96251"] So in 2008 my dad started have issues with his right hand just randomly going numb . He’d went to a few doctors appointments about it but him being beyond stubborn with foreign doctors he never followed up with a mri like recommended. That was in august. It’s now November and we find out dads got a brain tumor. And the doctors believe they can remove it without too many side effects. After surgery dad had some physical therapy because the only side effect he had was his right leg was kinda numb. Still in his right mind and could for the most part get around with the use of a cane . Fast forward now to spring . He called me bout a week before spring gobbler season come in and said there was 4 big gobblers in the yard like clock work every morning and he’d like to actually have one called in to shoot . See dad killed all kinds of game , everything this state had to offer actually. It was always just hunting and what you seen you killed . He’d never actually set out to kill a gobbler by calling one in . So I went up and set my blind up just in the edge of the wood line . Called off work the first morning of turkey season . Helped mom get dad dressed, by this time he was starting to loose more leg movement. And we went out and got in the blind . I know that those gobblers weren’t really called in by me , they were just doing their morning routine. But I’d call and it was like they couldn’t stop gobbling . They came in and strutted around the hen decoy I’d set out and carried on . Dad was shaking so bad I thought for sure he’d miss at such a close range. He didn’t though he actually killed two with one shot . Swear on the Bible he did . And yeah it was not exactly legal but accidents happen. That was the last time me and my dad got to go hunting . It was pretty well downhill from there for him . He passed away that fall . I’ll never forget that morning in April though [/QUOTE]
