Robert and I came in from Dallas, TX today and as soon as we walked out of the airport, it was snowing. When we got the call for this trip, we were like two little school girls. We have been following WWIA for a while now and are pretty excited to be a part of an awesome group of guys. Day 1: We woke early and headed to Ashland, WI for an NRA shoot with Jessie Duff. She is a world class competition shooter. She showed us some things and then we had a little competition. I won, and she gave me about 200 rounds of Hornady Ammo. I gave it to John for anyone that comes up here. It was all 9mm so they can have fun with it. We came back and made it to the stand for an evening hunt. After that, we headed to town for an award ceremony and a comedy show. Day 2: Woke this morning and hit the deer stand. Got another inch of snow last night, very beautiful country up here. I got to see a doe, so that was really good. We are also finishing up filming for the NRA all access show, should air in January at some time. Pretty cool stuff. Saw two does today. One in the morning and one in the afternoon at the lodge stand. Got back to camp and had a few beers with people from town. They came out with dinner for us and an older lady named Fran brought us a homemade bottle of blueberry wine. After the towns people left, I sat around with Robert, Jake and Josh and had some side busting stories. If you’re with Jake, ask him about his most embarrassing moment, remind him it happened in Texas. Day 3: Happy Birthday Marines, we are 238 years old. Slept in this morning and had a great laugh with Josh and Jake. This has made the trip perfect. The wilderness with the brotherhood of these guys makes the trip. It truly has been one of the best trips ever. I hope to help out and get some things together for John, so they can come to Texas and do some hunts. What these guys are doing are way better than any other organization I have been a part of. There are some good ones, but not many. WWIA is at the top of that list. Can’t wait to do more for WWIA and vets out there. Fishing this afternoon!! Semper Fi
