Military Branch: US Army
Event Name: NH Bear and Bass
This is my third event with WWIA. By far my funnest ever so far. I was asked to hunt with KP, a soldier who I served with 15 years ago in the army. My dream was to spend a special hunt together with KP. I wanted nothing more than to see KP smile again by getting his bear in his lifetime. Both Allen and Roy our guides, were so knowledgeable, friendly, and treated us as brothers. The local men and women who supported this event were the greatest Americans I’ve ever met. I have new brothers and sisters, both military and civilian.
