Title: Wow...What an honor!!!
Post by: Jbird22 on February 25, 2011, 12:49:16 PM
I was asked to be a guide for a "Wounded Warriors" hunt from March 18-20 here in South MS!!! I can't begin to tell you how jacked/pumped/excited/stoked/enthused/beside myself/etc... I am to know that I'm going to have an opportunity (Lord willing) to go hunting with a soldier who sacrificed so much for OUR country!!! I feel so unworthy to have this opportunity but look forward to being able to give a LITTLE (and I do realize it's little trust me) something back to the ones who gave SO MUCH! I can't wait to share one of my most beloved passions with them and hopefully call em up a gobbler or two!

I know it's still a few weeks away but I just had to share this with yall. I can't wait for this awesome experience! I KNOW I will leave a changed man when that weekend is over!

GOD bless the men and women who have served/are serving OUR country!  :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an

Congratulations!  I had the privilege of guiding two Wounded Warriors from Camp Lejeune NC on a deer hunt for two days in December 2009; you will have a splendid time being in the company of real hero's.

I'm leaving out around 3 in the morning headed to this hunt for three days. I found out we have seven Wounded Warriors that will be hunting and to say I'm excited about this opportunity would be a HUGE understatement. I am really looking forward to it and will probably have a hard time sleeping tonight. I won't have internet access this weekend but plan on giving a report as soon as I get back home and get a little free time.

If yall don't mind send a prayer our way that we can provide these young men a good experience this weekend! Thanks!!!

They'll have a good time regardless of the hunt results.  I've been doing Wounded Warrior events for 3 years now, and they enjoy getting out and not being constantly reminded of their injuries, plus they're outside enjoying what they love.

Enjoy the hunt yourself, and soak it all up.

I came back home late last night due to bad allergies but it was a great time yesterday. One of the guys killed one Thursday evening and another guy killed one yesterday morning. They were both extremely excited and it was certainly good to see that genuine excitement in others. They still have today left to hunt so lets keep our fingers crossed that they can get a few more.

BTW, I made it a point to thank those guys for their service and every one of them told me the same thing, "I was just doing my job". That was a bit humbling to me to say the least. Those guys are true heroes, not some sports star or other celebrity, American soldiers are true heroes!!!
