And not the John Deere
 
A friend of my son was deer hunting close to Harrisburg Pennsylvania.   
After hiking about 1 mile from the main road, he found his stand and waited  
for daylight to come.  Daylight finally arrived and he was disappointed  that 
less than 100 yards away was another hunter.  Oh well, that's the way  it 
goes.
 
Within an hour three deer come running up the mountain, a quick look, no  
antlers, the hunter has is deer tag for antlerless deer, so he takes the  
biggest.  He goes down from his stand goes to the deer, problem, the  deer has 
spikes.  He is stuck, the other hunter knows he shot it, he knows  the right 
thing is to drag the deer to the main road, contact the game  commission, 
pay his fine so he will be able to hunt again that day.
 
As the hunter was within one quarter mile of the road he came upon a  
hunter in a wheelchair.  The hunter in the wheelchair says wow, you got  yours 
early, you're lucky!  The hunter said not quite so lucky because he  thought 
it was antlerless and unfortunately it is a spike buck.
 
The hunter in the wheelchair said a spike is legal for me, so he proceeded  
to put his tag onto the deer.  The first hunter helped put the deer onto a  
small cart that was hooked to the wheelchair and the handicapped hunter was 
 thrilled.  He stated that he hunts a lot, but doesn't get much.  The  meat 
will help with the grocery bill.
 
The hunter accompanied the man in the wheelchair to the road only to find  
that there was a game warden talking to the people of the area.  The hunter  
disappears, the game warden congratulates the man in the wheelchair and 
everyone  around was very happy for the handicapped hunter and they all help  
him load the deer into his van.
 
I hope he keeps the story straight!
 
And I missed my chance at at a very large eight.  He's still out  there and 
I have another eight days.
 
Wish me luck,
