Antelope hunt August 2008:

 

   Josh age 22, was injured during his service in the Iraq war causing him to be paralyzed from the waist down. He narrowly escaped death with a great attitude and we honor him for this.
   Josh grew up spending much of his free time hunting and fishing. After being injured he searched for resources that could help him learn how to adapt and enjoy his hobbies again. After completing the process of adapting living arrangements it was time to pursue his love for hunting. 
  One of his goals as a hunter was to go antelope hunting. He contacted Dustin and arranged to meet in person and discuss the logistics of the hunt. We then coordinated our efforts with our friends from Frontier Outfitting and had a hunt set up to take place in Northern New Mexico August 2008.
   The rolling grass hills at the base of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains make a beautiful setting for the hunt. Opening morning was perfect! The grass was wet with dew from the cool night and the nice antelope buck we had been watching was feeding in the pasture. We had to make a quick decision to set Josh up in a position he could shoot from. The older bucks have seen hunters before and can disappear in an instant. Josh steadied himself and made a great 490 yard shot! 
   Back at camp everyone talked through the evening about the great success that day. We stayed for another day just to relax and let our eyes scan the gorgeous country. We left, with big smiles and the satisfaction of being able to enjoy such a blessed experience.
