Jim continues to volunteer each year as master dishwasher and assistant cook.  This program touched his life in a profound way as he found himself truly inspired by his hunting partner and by the new way he found to use his own years of hunting experience.  He was grateful to get out and do what he loved, and now helps others do the same.

Larry was an avid motorcycle enthusiast who did not let his disability slow him down.  He attached a sidecar to his bike where he would keep his wheelchair while he rode.  He had never hunted before, and saw this as a wonderful new adventure and another of life's great challenges.  Unfortunately, Larry passed away in 2009, but his family expressed great appreciation for this awsome experience that he spoke of with enthusiam and excitement many times.

Dan is an avid gun collector with vast ballistic knowlege.  He loves hunting, target practice, and even does competition shooting.  Since his Antelope hunt with us, he's also bagged a doe Antelope and a four-point Mulie and continues to persue his passion for the outdoors.

It's always a chore to pull Will away from the books.  He takes his life's situation seriously and knows he needs to buckle down with schoolwork so he can make a lucritive living and take care of himelf in the future.  That said, his dad tries every chance he can to get him out to do challenging things.  They even team-rope together, with Will strapped to Dad in the saddle!!! 

Joey is a bright young man whose smile is infectious.  He doesn't let his wheelchair slow him down, and was thrilled to hear that he had been chosen to hunt.  His brother got a tag that season ... but HE got a whole HUNT!!  Everyone in the hunting party was in awe of this young man's bright outlook as he laughed and joked and soaked in the entire experience.  Have a box of tissues handy as you watch not just Joey's, but also his DAD'S emotional reaction!

This year's hunt was filmed and aired on national television on the Versus Channel with the hunting show, "Blue Collar Adventures!"  It has been designated to air on NBC next summer and we couldn't be more thrilled! We were also mentioned in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Nevada Mining Association's Newsletter, The Republic (out of Columbus Ohio, and a few other local and national publications.  Things are taking off, and hopes of purchasing an off-road wheelchair for our hunters are becoming reality with this new attention attracting some larger donations!
