My condolences to all the family!! (I hope this is a continuation of where I screwed up on the first part of my writing.)
To continue where I was, Larry and I were bow hunting on the upper Meramec River. It was snowing. We were in a canoe on one of Missouri's most beautiful rivers, and Larry was sitting up front in the canoe. To make a long story short, before we reached our hunting area, I told him to save some of his arrows B/4 we reached our hunting spot. Larry shot many times at deer and turkeys along the way. Finally he drew back on a nice 10 point buck and hit it good!!
Only problem was it was his last arrow and it was a practice field tip arrow. He hit the deer good at 20 yards which ran into private property.
After following a blood trail for 40 yards we found the arrow that the deer shook off and kept on going. We never found the deer and he borrowed 3 arrows from me which he also lost shooting at deer/turkey.
I will miss that good hearted man! But the time we shared together will remain in my heart forever!!
Sincerely
Matthew Sinovic
