Let’s
call the story, Double Down Deer……..Tonya Carson
…..Last
night, Jimmy Combes and Bob Griffin went deer hunting
in two different areas north and south of Lebo. Around 5:30 PM
an excited Jimmy called Tonya Carson and asked her to come to his location and
help him load up the deer he had just harvested. Excitement was in the
air. Tonya called their friend’s son, Eddie Griffin to see if he could
also help, but Eddie had just gotten a call for his father and was in fact on
his way to help Bob with a deer his father had just harvested. The
greatest thing about this story was that back in September, Bob Griffth, a member of the Kansas Bow Hunters Association and
pending hunter education bow hunting instructor, had come to Jimmy’s house and loaned
him a bow to learn the art of archery. Jimmy had
harvested deer with a rifle before and was soon addicted to shooting the bow.
It wasn’t long before he bought his own bow and
various equipment. A couple of weeks before the season, Bob, son Eddie and
Jimmy had held practice sessions north of Jimmy’s country home. It was just
fitting that Jimmy and his mentor both harvested a nice buck within minutes of
each other. How special for the families to enjoy this moment together
during the coming Thanksgiving Holiday Season!
