The woods were still this morning.
Hunter and his companion made a short trip out to the hunting lease, hoping for the sound of a gobbler echoing through the trees. But today, nature had other plans. No calls. No movement. Just silence.
Yet somehow, it didn’t feel like a loss.
Because the real victory happened the night before.
After days of struggle, Hunter finally got better rest. The pain, while still there, was manageable — a small but powerful step forward in a journey that hasn’t been easy.
Back home, progress continues. His right shoulder, treated with a skin graft, is healing well. His right hand is nearly recovered. Dressings were carefully changed this morning, a quiet reminder of how far he’s come.
Every day is still a fight — but it’s a fight he’s winning, one step at a time.
And now, the road calls again.
This afternoon, they’re heading to Arkansas for another turkey hunt, holding onto hope that tomorrow will bring better luck — not just in the field, but in the healing journey ahead.
Through it all, one thing remains clear: strength, faith, and perseverance are carrying them forward.
Keep Hunter in your prayers — for healing, for rest, and for relief from pain.
Because sometimes, even in silence… there is progress.
