Take a Vet fishing or with you on a hunt.
« on: March 22, 2011, 04:08:17 PM »
Anyone interested in spending some time with one of our Veterans while enjoying a good day fishing or few days hunting??  Our SCI Chapter hooked up with an organization that takes our Vets on fishing trips or hunting trips after they have served overseas in combat!!  Seems to me it could be a win-win for all involved.  Just think of the stories you will hear while sitting on the back of a boat or in the woods!  If anyone is interested, I will set you up with one of the founders of the Organization.  You can check them out at http://www.freedomhunters.org  This is a great idea and we are working with them as a sponsor as well as trying to setup some trips for thier Vets.

Not sure what I could provide but I would be happy to take one out duck hunting or try and help them find a deer or elk. That would be alot of fun!

Thanks Camp David!  I sent out an email to Anthony Pace over at Freedom Hunters.  I am sure he will be very happy for your assistance and I am sure he will be contacting you. 

For those of you who have volunteered, please post your experience after the event.  This will help others feel more comfortable volunteering as well!

BallisticsNut:
 Count me in. Typically I do a spring turkey hunt for youth and if time and weather permit for a disabled Vet. Next year will be no different. Sometimes I have difficulty finding vets that can hike up hills and chase birds so I have established landowner relationships with several great people that have even offered to cut in access roads that will accommodate wheelchairs that way I can cater to every possible situation. I have a list of a few vets that I will forward to HEADSHOT because the fall season can be quite hectic around my shop. I think he's taking a vet out to Republic this year for a deer hunt.

HEASDSHOT...... Check your other post out and let me know if you want that list.

GREAT JOB GUYS.........

Cool organization.
I live in Bremerton, WA...   If you have any guys in the area interested in some hunting, I definately wouldn't mind giving back BallisticsNut.

i am a vet and would enjoy taking another vet out hunting or fishing.  My larger boat and jeep are in Alaska with my son (teacherman) but i do have a 17 ft coleman canoe.  as far as hunts, i will be going to Chopaka lake in Oct. for a special doe permit.  Might have a couple more with me but room for more.  Chopaka is in the sinlehekin unit 215.  I would like to go elk hunting in the natches or bumping area's and no partners yet.  The elk hunt would be colder and warm gear is needed to be along.  With that said expect 75 degree days and hot nights.  Really thou Nov. in the mountains anything can happen.  I usually camp at crow creek campground and hunt up towards sand springs and ravens roost.  Totally awsome area and a camera is really recommended.  I am not a guide but have hunted since i was  6 yrs old and grew up in montana.  My son is Teacherman and many of you know him and have seen his trophies.  He is now residing in Alaska.  Poor kid having to hunt moose, caribou, and bear.  I just got back from there and we went fishing for kings and sockeye.  We really Knocked them dead with daily limits everytime we went.  Did some pike fishing too.  Anyway there you have it.  I am 60 yo and doing well this year.  I have a disable hunting permit and all that entails.
