Let me introduce you to my new hunting buddy, 15-year-old Jordan Beri. Last Friday evening Jordan, who has spina bifida and is paralyzed from the chest down, shot this 212-pound, low-fence giant in SC. Jordan dropped the fully mature deer w/one shot. I have never been so proud. I was at least 10 times more excited than he was!
Before our afternoon hunt, we held hands and Jordan led us in a little prayer. He’s been a preacher since age 4 and has traveled around the South preaching at revivals. His dad, Patrick, told me that often at these events other preachers come up to Jordan and say, “Boy, let’s pray that one day you’ll walk again.”
To which Jordan replies, “You don’t have to pray for me, sir, I know God will take care of me. Let’s pray for others who need it.”
This is one special kid. Watch this inspirational new episode of BIG DEER TV on the Sportsman Channel later this fall.
Photos below: Jordan and I mugging in the blind…the big deer just before we shot him…a legit 212 pounds on the scales, the heaviest buck that has ever come off the property we hunted.
So cool!
So proud to have people like you both as members of the hunting community. Fantastic story and a real boost to all of us. Thanks for sharing it…it’s awesome!
Gotta love a story like this. Congrats Jordan. Your mind is in the right place; as is your heart. God Bless you young man. Hanback, awesome and inspiring story/hunt.
Awesome Mike, looks like a good time. Big body buck too ! Congrats Jordan
