My dad is 90 and hasn't hunted in about 8 years. He had stroke last Wednesday night that left his speech slurred, left leg weak , and left arm useless. From his bed in the rehabilitation facility he is still telling us where to go and we better be out there. This will be the first time in 76 years he has not been around for the opener. He may have missed one time during th Korean war. Even though he can't see well enough to hunt he was still there to bring deer in, skin, and butcher. We will be out Friday morning to respect his wishes even though no one really wants to. I will still pull the trigger as he will be expecting favorable reports Friday afternoon or evening.
