LabmanI would suggest somethng similar to the make a wish foundation for a sick child. If I remember the make a wish foundation caved into the anti-hunters some time ago and stopped sending terminally ill kids on hunting trips. I could be wrong on this, but that's my recollection.

Send a PM to Chilcotin Hillbilly up in BC. He does one or more bear hunts each year for wounded warriors. He'll probably have some good suggestions.

You're 100% correct. When I was on the BOD of the Phoenix Chapter, we took over the "hunt wish" program that make-a-wish quit. They wouldn't even give us the names of kids looking for hunts.
Sad state of affairs.

mcvsbt+1 for wounded warrior foundation...or re-raffle it and raise even more money for a charity.

boarkillerThat's right
Reraffle it and then get it out for one the WWF
I'll buy few again and of course if it goes to me I will donate it as well
That way guy that gets can get nice gun and gear as well

When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

elk88101Well
Let me see if I follow
Do you want me to raffle it off again and then take the proceeds and use it to donate to a WW FUND or get a companion hunt with the winner.
If we come up with a plan I will get it going.
Some more comments.
Tom would go along with your suggestions as long as some person with need would benefit
Thanks
Guys
For all the support.

Matt NormanKeep it simple (don't re-raffle). Contact the proven organization C-H suggested and turn it over to them. Happy ending.

Badger MattLarry,
I've got a friend who's expressed his wish to hunt black bear. He's taken a hog and two deer thus far. He's a great man with a winning attitude, especially given his severe wartime injuries, including full blindness, a missing lower leg, severe burns, and more.

Highlander7My suggestion would donating the hunt to the WWIAF. Maybe Tom would like to accompany the wounded warrior on the hunt.
