Heros, TV and Black bears

[chilcotin hillbilly]

My wife and i hosted Nosler Magnum TV host Gary Joseph and a Wounded Warrior in Action member, Sgt major Pat Corcoran a hero who found an IED in Afganistan 9 months before retirement.

Both got good boars, Pat stalking to 60 yards in the Action Trackchair and killing a beauty with his 7 mag.

Gary killed his nice boar at 35 yards with is Elite compound bow. The first time I have seen a bow bust the spine of a big bear.

Mike Martell who donated the Action Trackchair and Gary with the bear.

A great time was had by all and we came away from this hunt appreciating our service members even more.
Enjoy the pictures

That track chair is badass! Nice to see someone giving giving back to our soldiers in such a generous way.

[Rackmastr]

Awesome stuff!!! Good on ya for doing something like this. I look forward to watching Nosler's episode of this!!

[doubled]

I have to say that is one of the coolest stories I have heard on here. AWESOME job!!!

[anglo-saxon]

This is awesome. We see or hear about the soldiers who die, but we get only a very brief mention of the anonimous troops who get injured. Without wishing to detract from those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, there are a great many more injured troops who now face the rest of their lives with diminished bodies (and/or minds). That there are so many people willing to go to bat for our injured troops is heartwarming indeed and even gives a morale boost to those of us still serving. To know that people care makes a massive difference! Thank you for posting this and for the great service you have done (beyond what you may realise!).

Excellent work CH....congrats to all.

This adventure will stay with the injured vet for a long time, for those confined to chairs outings like this are a great healer/motivator. That is one sweet chair, many thanks to the donor for helping out a man who made a sacrifice for us.

Great work by true gentlemen & patriots! Many of my freinds have served overseas in Afghanistan, Bosnia and more, some are likely still off to other spots as well. Thank you for giving back to those that have served us!
