I thought I would share the results from this years Wounded Warriors in Action BC bear hunt.

Justin a disabled MP who served 5 years and survived 6 deployments in 5 years before losing a leg from a landmine in Afganistan.
this was the first bear he has ever seen.

Not bad for your first.

Chad is still active duty infantry but sustained serious back and head injuries from an IED blast. A great guy who rescheduled his wifes c-section to make it on this hunt. Chad ended up with a great boar as well, shot from 12 feet.

I would like to say thanks to Steve Rupp for the help he gave, and for the abuse his pavement princess pickup took while hound hunting.

if anyone knows Canadian wounded in combat vets who would like to join us next year get them to contact me at skinnercreek@telus.net
