RE: Coolest hunt ever Wheelin SPortsman Nanny Whackers
Good Job Frank, I was at the initial meeting with Chris to set up that hunt. However a week or so later the whole Wheelin' staff left the NWTF to start the new Outdoors Without Limits program.
It is a great feeling being able tohelp these people and there is more appreciation that comes from a disabled unsuccesful hunter than you would get from putting an able bodied person right on a trophy animal. I have taken some guys on hunts that I would have been disgusted a couple hours from weather, noanimals etc etc. These folks will sitthere all day not get a shot or even have game near them, but will still be smiling at the end.
How many hunters did they end up with? Chris originally wanted like 8-10, then went to 15, then 25 and this was all in about 30 minutes of a meeting. Was there a young girl there named Tiffany who has Spina Bifida?
Good Job
Jim
