Unforgetable Weekend!
« on: December 21, 2011, 09:29:42 PM »
My brother was able to come home for two weeks on R and R from Afganistan and we scrambled to put together a good weekend of hunting for him before he had to go back to the sand pit. We booked two days with Bryan at backwing outfitters and boy did he make it one of the greatest weekends I can remember.

We started with a sunday goose hunt out of pits (a first for me and my brothers). Bryan had us on the birds all day and was a blast to hunt with. we all shot our limits and had a great time catching up. Not a bad first goose hunt for my brother lol.

We went for ducks the next day and Bryan didnt dissapoint. we hammered the greenheads. i could not have imagined a better hunt, not just for the birds but getting to have the brother home and enjoying some of the things that hes fighting and sacrificing for. Thanks to Bryan at backwings and all our troops.

Pics to follow cuz i dont know how to attach em both :dunno:
