This past August I participated in the black bear hunt in Washington with the WWIAF. Our hosts, John and Corrina Koenig, provided a top notch, professional, adventure filled hunt for myself and three other wounded vets. This being my first bear hunt, I had no idea what to I was getting into. John was able to work with me and show me how to hunt regardless of my physical limitations due to the injuries I had. The Koenig family exceeded every expectation I had for this trip. They were very generous in opening their home to us and the local community showed great support for the WWIAF. It was really nice to be around fellow wounded vets and see how each person deals with their own injuries and the daily trials that come along with them. Trips such as these are exactly what our wounded vets need in order to heal both physically and mentally. I would most certainly participate in another WWIAF trip and highly recommend any and all wounded vets out there who enjoy the outdoors or want to try something new to join the ranks of the WWIAF.
