Big Hearts Under the Big Sky: Trey Ward Elk Hunt
Wounded Warriors Project
It was a honor and a privilege to be able to take U.S. Army Sgt. Eric Edmundson on an antelope hunt in 2011 and on a mule deer hunt in 2012. Both hunts occurred near Miles City in South Eastern Montana. Eric sustained shrapnel and blast injuries when his unit was hit by a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2005. SCO was truly humbled and honored to help Eric harvest a nice antelope and mule deer buck. |
Catch A Dream
I had the privilege of taking Chase Rhodes and his entire family on a rifle elk hunt in 2011. Chase was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma one year and one day before he harvested this nice bull elk. Visit their website at http://catchadream.org/index.html |
