86歲老人"最後的狩獵"一槍擊倒雄鹿

Lester Warner, 86, has metastatic prostate cancer and recently stopped treatment. He wanted to spend the opening day of hunting season with his family, as he has for decades, but his sons, Brian and Scott, were not sure he would make it。

At dawn Sunday, the sons drove him to the summit of Broadtop Mountain in Huntingdon Country. At 8 am, a buck ran out of the woods, and Brian pointed it out to his father. Lester squeezed the trigger and brought the deer down with a single shot。

Then the father looked up at his son and said: "Never give up." Warner's wife Shirley said, "I know that for a while he forgot he had cancer, and that's the best part. It is a miracle."

據國外網站"the "12月8日報道,美國賓夕法尼亞州一名耄耋老人,在他生命中可能是最後一個狩獵季裏,僅用一槍就成功捕殺一頭雄鹿,這真是一個“好兆頭”。

現年86歲的萊斯•特華納患有轉移性前列腺癌,並已停止治療,他希望能與家人在狩獵季時前往山區共度“開放日”,這已經是他過去幾十年來從未中斷的習慣。但特華納的兒子布萊恩和斯科特對他能否完成意願表示擔憂。

上週日凌晨,特華納的兒子開車將他和家人送往亨廷登縣的Broad top山頂,大約上午8點左右,一頭雄鹿突然從樹林中躥出,布萊恩立刻提醒父親,老人瞬時扣動扳機,一槍擊倒正在狂奔的獵物。

當時,特華納還看着自己兒子說“永不放棄”。 特華納的妻子雪莉說:“我明白當時他已經忘記了自己是個癌症患者,這也是最奇妙之處。真是太神奇了”。
