Wish us Luck Handicapped/wounded warrior/youth hunt

[eggshell]

This weekend is the local NWTF Chapter's special hunt for Handicapped/wounded warriors and special youth. Hunters will be coming in today and we'll have a dinner and meet and greet this afternoon. Tomorrow and Sunday we hunt. I was on the scouting and blind team last weekend and we saw and heard a good number of birds. The last two years the weather has been horrible, but the next two days look pretty good. Pray the forecast stays good. Many thanks to Ohio Division Of Forestry for blocking off 2500+ acres and closing access leading up to this hunt. Many thanks to the Ohio Division of Wildlife for authorizing a special season just for this hunt (our youth season is next weekend and general season April 20th) and a generous grant. Many thanks to dozens of volunteers and sponsors. Just some big sponsors are Woodhaven, Quaker Boy, several of the gun companies, Local companies and more. We have 16 hunters participating from all over the USA. All their expenses (except gas) are covered and the State Park Lodges them. Whenever, you think the world is falling apart, things like this tell you there is still much good in the world.

I am honored to be a guide for a hunter and have always had a great time with my assigned hunters. I hope this hunt is one of the best. The event is called Thunder in The Hills in Pike County Ohio. Ohio Clinton County Chapter NWTF.

A special thanks to our own Gobblenut who donated to this event, Thanks Jim.

Awesome!!! I don't know whether to thank or congratulate you. Congratulations on your decision to dedicate time and attention to such a wonderful cause and thank you for helping very deserving people. Very generous of you, your hunter is lucky to have someone with such real, earned knowledge. GOOD LUCK !

A short report on the hunt. For once the weather was decent and birds were active everyone heard and saw birds. Four gobblers were killed and one missed. It was a great weekend and chance to give something back. The one miss was the hunter I was guiding. It was just one of those things that happen to all of us. A bird pops up suddenly right on top of you and you gota take the shot fast because he's fixing to leave.

 Awesome! Glad the gods were working with the hunt!

I'm glad you guys had a good hunt eggshell. Sounds like you did your part. You know the GOATS would probably be willing to do a roundtable discussion around the campfire for these distinguished guests. When you think about the wisdom and life lessons we could lay out, I am sure it is worth millions. Heck, from the looks of it, those guys over on that Scattered Flock Team are still up all night trying to figure out how we became some awesome.
