This was my very first deer hunt. With that being said, I might very well be ruined. William French is an awesome guy. When half of the Counties local law enforcement show up for dinner, it says a lot. The Game Warden even came out to get to know us and sat and chatted drinking coffee for over an hour. I get to speak to Local Houston, TX area Law Enforcement Officers about de-escalation of force on trauma affected veterans and it is probably my favorite part of my life. Getting an opportunity to share my experiences with them helps with my healing process. The deer! Fifteen minutes into my first ever hunt, I had a shot on a nice buck, unfortunately it did not work out. WWIA Guide, Derrick spent time with me showing me anatomy charts and best practices including sitting in the stand with me and talking me through it. Turns out we were in the Sadr City at the same time. The last day, I harvested 2 bucks within 5-10 minutes. It was pretty incredible, and I am really happy with those shots given the circumstances. The food was amazing. Corrina was (and probably is) amazing. Getting to hang with the guys was an experience I won’t forget. Mr. French’s son was even out there. He is a great young man, that was a pleasure. William French has been in the wealth management business for decades and got started talking shop one night. I wish I had a pen. His knowledge is worth a fairly obscene dollar per hour for consulting (and rightfully so). He graciously offered to answer questions we have about finances and I know he will. I’m blown away guys. There will never be another first deer hunt and I am really glad I could experience it with this amazing group of gentleman and brothers.
