Hey Guys
Last year I had the opportunity to take a kid on his first hunt. 12 years old and first night out shot his first buck. Was an incredible experience. That experience sparked an interest I've always had to introduce kids to hunting, especially ones that have the desire but might not have the means or opportunity to do it. I have a nice tower blind that overlooks a food plot that gets hammered by deer nightly. Its almost a guarantee shot at something each night. What I'd like to do is each year take one new kid that wants to hunt that doesn't have the means or possibly someone that might have an unfortunate illness and shooting a deer is something they want to do to satisfy a dream. I'd love to do more than that but don't have a ton of land, just enough to take a few off a year. I know this sort of idea has started to take off elsewhere but I'm struggling to find a place to even start to identify someone that meets this criteria. Does anyone have any pointers or ideas for me? Feel free to post here or send me a PM. This isn't something I'm wanting any sort of recognition on or anything, simply giving someone the opportunity to fill a dream they might not have otherwise and give back to the sport that gives me so much joy. Any help appreciated.
Thanks
