Title: 11th Annual Veterans hunt. Post by: jsh on March 02, 2021, 05:16:05 am Held our 11th annual veteran hunt this past weekend with Rocking W and Kbar. Did a bit of a reunion with some guys that we had come out years back. Had a good time, caught 18, had a good relaxing hunt and the guys really enjoyed themselves. As always, we involve the kids so that they can learn to give back to these great men. Below is a message I received the next day - really makes it all worth it.
From Marty: I’m home safe and as sound as I ever was. Thanks doesn’t come close for the camaraderie you bring to Veterans, the bond you create with your families, and the memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you very much. The Ranger hat I wore, Jimmy gave to me last summer. The shirt I wore was from the Ranger Ben Kopp Memorial Ride, a Ranger who died from wounds. Those were both on me when I killed 6 or 7 pigs and ran my heart out. It was a wonderful trip for me. I released a lot of frustration while absorbing the love of many. I have Go Pro footage, I will hopefully get to you all. Will, whatever you airdropped to me did not arrive. My phone died by the fire and I guess it was dropped. If I die tomorrow, I’m going to be gloating and bragging about my hog dogging days! May God bless you and your families. You guys work miracles. I had no idea I could run. I worried I would disappoint. Plus, I had never met Jeremie and it’s always a joy to be with Tuck. Add to that seeing Ryler in his underwear...well, that’s what dreams are made for.

I heard good things about Kopp, he was a warrior through and through. They had a hell of a gun fight when he was killed. I know several other guys were injured, can’t remember if there were more KIA, but they put in work on the Taliban that day.
