Military Branch: US Army
Event Name: WI Prairie Du Chien Duck Hunt
I had never been hunting before this trip and I had some reservations about killing a living thing, but to see how much the animal is appreciated and how this is a way of life really changed my perspective on hunting. Not only did I learn the essentials of duck hunting, I also picked up a couple skills that are more than likely becoming a lost art. The one thing that usually keeps me from participating in events like this is that I do not like being treated like a charity case. The people at the Duck Inn and Rig Em Right did a great job of making me feel welcome, appreciated and comfortable. It is great to meet these Americans who truly appreciate us. I must say the best part was meeting all of the cool, humble and down to earth people. That, at least for me, restores my hope for our wonderful country. Thank you for making this Veteran’s Day weekend a weekend I won’t forget. Thank you for your service and I hope we stay in touch. Please reach out to me anytime, no reason needed. Until next time, take care.
