I'm looking for a combat wounded veteran to take on a high country mule deer hunt this fall. I want to find an individual that has a passion for the outdoors and wants to put in the effort to do a genuine western mule deer hunt and put in the necessary work to be successful and relive the satisfaction that only comes from giving your all. I will provide everything needed for the hunt including tags, travel, gear and whatever is needed to help overcome the limitations of disability.
My goal is to develop a process and a means for this individual to continue enjoying big game hunting with minimal assistance.
My requirements for the individual are as follows:
1. Must have served in a combat MOS.
2. Must be driven and willing to put in the effort to be successful.
3. Must be combat wounded.
4. Must be nominated by someone other than self. I don't want this to be a contest amongst deserving vets with one winner and many losers, so of you'd like to pursue this, have a buddy or family member nominate you.
Hunt will be October time frame but the training regimen will start immediately.
You can reach me via email @ [login to see] or search message me on my Facebook page.
From one veteran to another, thank you for your service.

Thank you everyone for your input, comments and encouragement. I have found the veteran that I am selecting for this hunt. SSG Michael Burns decided to enlist after 9/11 at the age of 32. He did three tours in Iraq before being hit by shrapnel from a mortar round. After enduring 8 surgeries and constant pain, he decided this year to amputate and get back to living his life for himself and his family. They performed an above the knee amputation this past February, and this hunt is a perfect goal for him to work towards.
you can follow his progress on his FB page "It's not about ME." If you want to follow the progress of the hunt, you can "friend" me on FB.
I have a list of gear and expenses needed to pull this off. I am running the donation process through a 501c3 non profit organization so there are no tax implications for the soldier and so that all that donate will receive a donation receipt for their tax purposes.
If you would like to help, please go to fieldofdreamsinc.org and click on the "Donate" tab. On the following screen,it will ask if the donation is in honor or memory of someone. Click "yes" and then enter "SSG Burns Mule Deer Hunt" in the box that pops up.
Thanks again and feel free to hit me up if you have questions or need more info!

Kim, apologies for not calling. I got buried in work and travel. I found a veteran for my hunt, but I would reach out to Field of Dreams or Wishes for Warriors for your veterans. Let me know if you need specific contacts and I can get you hooked up with the right people...
