Got a brother n law that a special forces ranger. He got hurt on his last deployment and is in the process of rehabilitation due to combat injuries. He will probably be med boarded in the future. He loves turkey hunting since I got him into it, but hasn't been able to go the last few seasons. He has finally been given the medical clearance that he thinks he can start shooting and going this season. He is all fired up, which is good, he has some PTSD. We got him a gun last year, but he doesn't have any camo, vest, calls, snake boots, etc. he told me tonight he wants to go to Bass Pro and stock up next weekend. I know from talking to my sister they stay on a tight budget.
I'm not looking for any handouts. What I'm after is if anyone has found any killer deals on anything. I'd like to be able to outfit him as cost effective as possible. I see some deals on wing supply...just looking for some more.
What size does he wear? I am headed down this weekend to look around at some sporting goods places.
He is an XL shirt, 34/34 pants, shoe size 10.5
I know you said you are not looking for hand outs, but reading you post, I told my wife that God puts things in front of us to see what we'll do with it! The sizes you posted are the same as mine! If you don't mind some used items, just PM me your address and I would love to hook you up!
Midway or Midwest is clearing out a bunch or Russell clothing.Walmart has a clearance going on too. I will check my local Wal Mart this wknd. Wings supply too.

This is going to make his day knowing some of you guys are doing this for him. He has been on 13 deployments, a POW for a day, and received a silver star for some actions from his last deployment. I guided him to his first gobbler before his last deployment and all he has talked about the last two seasons is going with me again. He sustained some injuries that he has been battling the last year and a half and has been unable. My sister says he has really good days when we talk turkey. I plan on filming him shoot one this year. I'll make sure I post it on here.
I'll send what I can round up all of us have more than we really need! Glad to help.
I'm going to surprise him with a pot call and trumpet myself.
Hey DEl,you forgot the zip code.
Edited.
Please provide a complete shipping address + a phone # so UPS Ground will guarantee delivery, and I've got a lightly used Tactical Tat'r Vest in XL that will be on the way to you shortly.
You can PM me the phone #....
I absolutely detest selling stuff cheap on E-Bay if someone else needs/wants it :)
mudhen
I will send a few things!
Best part bout boots is they are broke in :z-guntootsmiley:
Del,
I've got several extra vests and pot calls he can have.
I'd rather see it go to a cause like this than sit and collect dust.
Guys this is awesome. He has no idea. I called my sister last night and told her to find a way to stall him from buying anything. I'm gonna make sure I guide him to a bird using all this stuff and I'll post the video on here. I'm gonna see if he will join and be a OG member. He is weird about the Internet due to his job.
I thank you guys for this out pouring of support.

Del, Back in Nov I bought one of Mero's LE trumpets for the Wounded Warrior Project. I'd like to send it his way, I think it's fitting that he gets it. Tell him thank you for his service.
