Andrew is a hoot. I was his cameraman last year and he is a great kid.

In this case it is fine. Looks like you all had a good time even though the birds didn't cooperate fully. You're a good man Steve. God bless you. |

here is the video from the 2009 Freedom Hunt with my good Friend Todd Henry as guide. Andrew informed me that the first few calling sequences were HIS calling NOT his guide. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6SV-PetIfw |

One of our Freedom Hunt boys Andrew wasnt able to attend this years Freedom Hunt Turk hunt so I invited him for a morning hunt this morning. Andrew is Autistic and is home schooled. Due to scheduling issues with us both this morning was the only time we could get together. Andrew has killed a couple of deer and a turkey at last years Freedom Hunt. He has some issues with his shootin eye and needs to wear a patch. He lost his patch somewhere between last deer season and when he got to my house last night....so I had to Mcgyver it! RRrrrrrr instant pirate! Attachments:

those 3 gobblers did the same thing to us that they've done every morning hunt Ive tried em back there. Gobble their heads off and come on a string but wont come into the woods with me. They put on a good listening show for about an hour and a half at least. Finally a redhead enters the food plot........ unfortunately not the redhead we were hoping for. Attachments:

No dead turkeys for us this morning. But we had a good time. Andrew and his family have become friends of mine thru the last 4 years of Freedom Hunt events. He is ATE up with hunting and his mom says its entirely due to his involvement with the Freedom Hunt. THAT right there is why every volunteer involved spends the time energy and money they do to make these events happen. Andrew and I had a conversation about what was going to happen when he got too old to be a hunter. His goal...to become the first Freedom hunt hunter to GUIDE another youth during one of our events. If that statement doesnt make you all warm and fuzzy you might want to check your pulse. Attachments:
