Unique Opportunity, Photography a hunt provided for Disabled Veterans.
If you haven’t guess by my Logo or my Bio I am a Retired Field Artillery Major. I am also a Combat Veteran and a Medically Retired Veteran myself after 24 years of wearing the uniform. So when the opportunity came up to go photograph fellow Veterans out on a hunt I was excited to do it.
The event was set up by “The Fallen Outdoors”. I was in contact with Clayton Yanis the moderator of the Midwest chapter FB group. The day started Early on the 3rd of December. The hunt was planed for a 0800 meet up at Macedonia Game Preserve, http://www.macedoniagamepreserve.com/ This is a large Southern Illinois hunting location north of .
I arrived early to set up my gear and to meet up with the Hunt Coordinators. The Vets/Hunters were showing up at the same time I arrived.
At 8:00 Am we started the hunt our guide got us lined up and it didn’t take long for the action to start! What really made this such a good event was the camaraderie. We reverted to brothers really quick. Joking and poking fun at each other.
Fallen Outdoors & Macedonia Game Preserve put on a great event for the Veteran’s who participated. It was also very appreciated that they let me come an get these shots! Please check out these 2 groups and support these people who love to support our troops.
