is now about over with 4 of the 5 Military Veterans attending having killed their trophy bucks in only 2 days. The hunt was hosted by my good friend and outfitter Matt Schneider of Schneider's Polled Herefords and Outfitting in GMU 391 of Colorado on several private ranches; all in this local area. The hunt dates: November 13-17.

Unfortunately, the fifth Veteran had to leave for home for an emergency, even though the hunt was scheduled to run through Sunday.

The fully guided hunt started out Tuesday with a session at the gun range and then a banquet dinner where all the veterans were honored and then given prizes after a good dinner. The event was attended by approximately 50 to 60 locals and the stories told and comaraderie shared can not be put into simple words. There were a lot of tears shed as well as a lot of laughter shared that special evening.

The hunt will be culminated with a large steak dinner (the meat donated by a local cattle rancher) on Sunday evening for all the hunters and guides and wives/girlfriends.

I guided a Vietnam Veteran from Idaho; Paul, who was wounded in Vietnam and in addition to a Purple Heart, won a Bronze Star. Paul has permanent lung injuries and also has skin problems from being sprayed with Agent Orange. He is a real trooper with a heart like a bull and the attitude to go with it.

Paul made a perfect one shot kill on his buck, which brags seven points on each side, including double brow tines on the left side.
