Taking Soldiers Hunting
Posted: Sat Apr 11, 2009 6:35 pm
Hey all;
I am new here. I have been a member of the Texas Hunting Forum, Texas Fishing Forum, Crappie.com, Take a Soldier Fishing.com, and a Moderator for the Take a Soldier Hunting.org site. I have several places to hunt here around Paducah as well as Childress, Texas. One thing I started towards the last of this last Deer Season was taking Soldiers and Disabled Veterans hunting. I had the Pleasur of taking one Soldier and his Daughter hunting before he left for Iraq. I also had the Pleasure of taking a Disabled Veteran who was in a wheel chair and his friend hunting. I am in no way near a rich man but the feeling I got from this was better than wining the lottery. I have decided to try and expand this and try and build 3 new stands and get 4 new deer feeders to be able to supply these Heroes a FREE place to hunt where they can get away and have a good time. As I said, these hunts are free but the materials are in no way free that are needed to build all that is needed for these Soldiers. On the Texas Hunting Forum, one of the Soldiers who will be coming hunting with me placed a flag up for sale to help with the materials for building the stands as well as the deer feeders, that he had gotten for the Morgue in Iraq where he worked while there. I as well as many others asked him to definately not sell it because it was something that he could share with his Children and Grandchildren one day. Some have donated money for this and some have volunteered to come up and even help. I am not really in need of a lot of help now but we are in need of the materials. I placed an item on ebay to raise money for the stands and feeders as well. If any are interested, the Item # is 220393122912 If any just want to donate to the cause, please feel free to pm me. I am glad to have found this site. I myself am working on getting my CHL soon.
God Bless
