Hey everyone I have had a pretty exciting night Saturday. I have been looking for ways to give back some as I have been really lucky in my life and the recent loss of my Father has given me even more perspective. One of the great things I have received in the last few years are the opportunities to share hunting camps with other disabled Vets. Tonight was my first meeting as an Adventure Advisory Committee member with American Heroes in Action here in Colorado. I am volunteering in order to try and find and coordinate outdoor opportunities for other disabled Vets. I am sending this out to all my friends, and PLEASE SHARE with everyone you know, in order to try and find folks with hunting, fishing and any other outdoor recreation opportunities they are willing to share with disabled Vets. ATTENTION INDIANA HUNTERS, even though the organization is HQd here in CO we have several Vets in IN that have contacted us looking for something like we try to provide. At our board meeting we were speaking about our hunts for the year and I was talking about having just returned from Thanksgiving (even though I didn't hunt) and the director stopped me in mid-thought. He asked "YOU are from Indiana?" and I told him that I was from Indy and the wife from Warsaw. He told me about the IN Vets he had on the list and asked if I would personally be coordinate some outings for them!!! So far we have one maybe on a property and I am looking for help finding some more for sure. The BLUF on what I am asking for is someone with access to land willing to share it with a small group (2-4) of Vets (usually combat wounded/injured like myself). The organization takes care of licensing fees and logistics and I would be thrilled to discuss possibilities with any of you (PM me if you would like). I am attaching the link so you can get all the details on AHIA as well.... thanks and if you have any ideas or leads please contact me!!!! Thanks, Larry americanheroesinaction.org/

BTW, one detail I didn't mention......limitations on game taken is normal. For instance, some folks limit to does only or bucks of certain descriptions, so don't think that is an issue. This is about getting Vets out, together into the woods, not about trophy hunting. Thanks!!!

I set a new goal. Buy enough land (100 plus) so I could invite and run a program for the Indiana vets. It's #1 new importance. When I read this Tuesday the Lord spoke to me. Right now I have no idea how I can afford land, but I'm praying and making it #1 priority. I pray more good blessing for this comes my way.

Best to you Waynes!!! I have been blessed by other folks when it comes to learning how to hunt and getting opportunities and have finally found a little way to give back.
