DEC OP Hoosier Hunter Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 1,401 Angola	I had the pleasure of guiding for my young friend Noah. Noah is a paraplegic who just 16 months ago was a normal kid until a downhill skiing accident changed his life forever on Christmas Eve of 2012. Noah does not know the word "cannot". He has more drive and will than anyone that I have ever met. When he wanted to bow hunt only, I took on the challenge willingly. It took about 15 hours of blind time over two days, but this morning Noah center punched a long beard at 8 yards with his compound bow (no different than any bow that you or I would shoot). A lot has to come together to get any youth a turkey, but to have a youth determined to do it out of a bow when they cannot re-position ... EVERYTHING has to happen perfectly. On Easter morning of 2014 ... everything was perfect. Oh ... and we did it all on video too.:biggrin: Noah and his victory, just 16 months after a life altering accident. NO EXCUSES ... just pure guts. Noah's dad (left), Noah, and Myself Derek New Day Outdoors Productions - It's a New Day in the Outdoors Magnus Broadheads Take a child hunting. Wear a safety harness at all times ... TRUST ME!

We could all learn something from them. It also says a lot about the people who took time out of there schedule to guide these kids. I also think it's fantastic that landowners are willing to let these kids and their guides hunt on their land for this event. Keep in mind, all of these hunts happened on private ground. My hats off to all of the landowners. I am the vice president of the Northeast Indiana Whitetails Unlimited chapter and we did sponsor one of these kids for this event this year. We have a facebook page "Northeast Indiana Whitetails Unlimited." Look us up, we have a banquet every year once per year and every year we donate 100% of the money we raise to support events like this and to give back to the community. This year I believe our banquet will be August 9th. Anyway, great hunt and I am very happy for Noah. I have never taken a turkey with a bow so Noah deserves a lot of credit for this!
