Mt. St. Helens Wounded Warrior Elk camp - update for 2015 season -gofundme added

[CplRaines]

Just completed the second wounded warriors elk camp that I have hosted.
We got one raghorn in camp this year, but I got the guys on animals on all but 2 of the days out. 
The one pic below of the 2 young Marines with the great big grins says it all.
I could care less if I ever shoot another elk as long as these young men have a good time and get to experience the joy of elk camp.

Semper fi.

Much respect, sir!

My only complaint is about WDFW. I have tried to get help from them with tags and access for these purple heart/disabled vets and have gotten squat.
Started thinking about moving my camp to Montana for the guys instead. Though I love to be on Mt. St. Helens.
Ah well, such is life.
A good time was had by all.

7 men in camp this year. My daughter came to camp midway through the season.
Among the 7 - 4 Marine grunts, 1 Marine tanker, 1 Army reservist grunt, 1 Army Command Sgt. Major.


Pic below - watched this bull for about 10 minutes on the morning of the 12th. He gave my daughter and I a beautiful broadside shot at about 75 yards. Unfortunately, he was on the wrong side of the 7400 rd and in the Toutle unit.

Great view of Mt. Rainier from on top of the switchbacks above the 5500.

Thank you for the offer, but not sure if this will continue after this year.
We will see what happens with the charity organization (WWIA) I am working with as far as funding goes for this seasons camp.
