Freedom Hunt Turkey camp 2010
Well I leave tomorrow morning for Turkey camp 2010 in Southern Indiana for our 2nd Freedom Hunt The Southern Swing Turkey hunt!
Ill be sharing camp with 12 special youth hunters and about 100 other peeps... guides, families of the kids and various volunteers.
I hope to be able to post pictures of 12 smiling kids sitting behind a whole gaggle of dead Turks come Monday morning.
Wish us luck!!
And in turn good luck to all the other youths going out this weekend around the state! Be safe and have a great hunt.

Kyle and I looked for ya after everything wrapped up today Steve, but we weren't able to find you so we passed along our thanks to Bre and told her to tell ya. What a wonderful weekend.... seems like the turkey organizers and deer camp organizers try their best to out-do each other! The winners from all the efforts are definitely the kids & parents.
I just finished emailing Aaron Luckey, who was our guide... and I shared with him a moment I just had with my son. He'd went to bed and about 15 minutes later I walked past his room and looked inside and saw his eyes wide awake through the darkness. I walked in and asked if he was thinking about his turkey.... he told me that he was staring out his door and onto my 'trophy' wall at a wing mount from one of my birds, and he couldn't stop looking at that mount and remembering everything from this weekend. He nearly came to tears after pulling his trigger today..and he'll never forget that euphoria!
His deer hunt and this weekends turkey hunt with you and all the helpers are moments that are priceless. I just cannot thank everyone enough, who gives so much time and effort into making those kids forget about all the unpleasant things they have to deal with, and for just a few days lets them all be like everyone else and feel on top of the world.
God Bless you for starting the Freedom Hunt, and everyone who has ever helped make these kids have such wonderful memories.

Im sorry I missed you before you left also. It gets kinda crazy at times there as you know. I do try to get in front of everyone to say goodbye but I seem to always miss some. |
