Donation made! Good Luck to all involved.
Five or so years ago I noticed Doug was doing these hunts and asked him how they worked. His enthusiasm and support is what got me going with this Organization. Our WW Hero's greatly appreciate these hunts but I will confirm everyone involved has great benefits. Thanks all.
PS: At this point we have a couple Wounded Warrior events scheduled for 2018. If any other guys have a hunt/host desire let me know via PM. C

Thanks so much for the donations so far guys, outstanding. Chris S, sorry for the loss of you friend, he sounded like a real hero. Charlie , I am so glad you have told the WWIAF story here on Bowsite, I am sure John McDaniel and all the hero's you are helping really appreciate it as well.

Donation made! As a recipient of a hunt from WWIAF and supported by the bowsite and bowsiters it’s an honor and a privilege for me to be able to help pass it forward to fellow wounded vets. Hope y’all have an amazing time.

Thanks to everyone that donated this year. Once again the Wounded Warriors in Action sent two great hero's to Skinner Creek. We have hunted three days treed 5 bears and killed to good boars. William killed a great boar on day two and Grady killed another on day three. Both were good solid boars in the mid 6 foot range in length and I would think 270 to 300 lbs live weight. Thanks to great guys like these we can live and breath in free and wonderful countries. On a side note both marines got to climb the trees and push their bears out.
