I am putting together the schedule for this years hunts that I plan to do in support of our heros. If you are retired (don't care how long) or active duty, ARMY, NAVY, AIR FORCE, or MARINE, a Police Officer, or Firefighter and you want to go hunting here are my plans:
Sept 2012 Aoudad Hunt Oct 2012 Red Stag Hunt Nov 2012 Whitetail Hunt (Buck and Doe) Dec 2012 Whitetail Hunt (Buck and Doe) Jan 2013 Fallow Deer Buck Feb 2013 Sika Stag Mar 2013 African Style Water Buffalo
Just so you know, I am not an organization I am just 1 guy taking guys hunting. So, I need a fair way to pick who goes on what hunt. So this is what I am going to do. Shoot me a PM in the next 2 weeks, with a picture of you in your uniform. I will put the pictures in a hat and pull them out, the first pull gets the Sept hunt, the second gets the Oct, and so on.
If you are interested PM me. I am doing this to say thanks. I wish I could do more but this is what I got. Please shoot me a PM, and we will see where this goes. I will pull the winning names on May 17, 2012
All Hunts will be near Austin, TX in either Burnet or Blanco County. Please keep this in mind. The hunt will include Room and Board for 1 or 2 nights, meals, meat processing, and the hunting.
Thank you guys in uniform for all you do to keep us safe...

No doubt about the AR crap, just damn shame hunters don't have self control and knowledge

Thanks much Nate. Hope it works out. Great thought for some of the best. Wonderful thing you are doing. I have been thrilled with my share of hunts, trips, and great time provided by some of these great THF member's generosity.

As cool and out of reach some of those hunts would be for me, I'll stay out for the military guys as well. They are much more deserving. Thank you sir for giving back to those who have served our country.

Thank you sir for giving back to those who have served our country. Yep, I'm a 24 year LE veteran. I think those military kids have done so much and sacrificed so much that they deserve it way more than I. I'd still like to help out in any possible.

Nathan, thanks for the thought and opportunity. My PM is in your box. Had to stop and think about a photo, Hope it was OK.
