November 8,2013 Hunt - In memory of John Paul Polyniak

[tracker12]

Congrats and thanks for sharing your story.  I did a bear hunt the week following my Dad's passing.  It's amazing how moving a hunt can be when it is in rememberabce of someone you loved.  I took my first archery bear the first evening when no one else in our part saw anything.

Just spoke to John's sister Diane.
She reminded me that his birthday was November 7.
That was the day before the hunt and the day that my wife was really pushing me to go upstate!

Coulda fooled me about not being a good story teller! Great story! Thanks for sharing your very special day with us. I suppose the beautiful buck was a perfect conclusion to such a spiritual day.

Fine job on a real nice buck. I am sure your brother would be proud.

Memories and great friends are forever. Treasure everything you shared together, he wants you to continue to enjoy what you had together. I had that with my father, a great man, dad and hunting buddy. One suggestion is to introduce someone else to our great sport, such as a young man and maybe you will build that kind of friendship again. God bless you.

A nice tribute and fine buck, well done!
