Would love to share some of his hunt experience and hopefully, a nice harvest.

McDave....Yes, this is the same gentleman that you met at the TN Spring Classic...the Wounded Warrior Hunt was actually set up there that weekend. And I will let Gil know of your personal support as well as many others of the Trad Gang ranks.
Many of Gil's faculties have been severely compromised however, he has been gifted to be able to remain extremely competent with his longbow. I actually don't comprehend how he manages it. Thank goodness since, I have failed in training the the deer to jump on an arrow.

Worked with Gil’s wife yesterday in how to use Trad Gang. She will now be able to share the thread with him.

Saturday morning hunt: two young bucks with one at 18 yards and the other at 25 yards. Hopefully, the afternoon hunt will be more productive.
The deer moved just prior to daylight according to eleven cell cams. Only one pic taken this morning from the eleven cell cams. Note: we often get 4000 pics a night from the eleven cell cams.

Sunday afternoon looked promising...didn't rain until half way through the hunt then poured and poured and poured....Gil unleashed an arrow on a doe however, missed.
The conditions were such that taking pics escaped the whole group. ...Sorry...The visit, camaraderie and friendship is a most treasured gift Gil will be returning December 10th for the continuation of the Wounded Warrior hunt. We have decided to take pics before we even start the hunt.
God bless America.....

By the way, I have a very dear friend who lives not so far from you. He is around Madisonville. I've known him since he was a teenager. His Father owns a farm in West Tennessee, who allowed us to hunt there. We taught my friend the basics, and I think he's a much better deer hunter than I am, now. Oh. well.

If you can put a deer in front of Gil it will be in a hurt, that guy can shoot!
Here is Gil and his team in Afghanistan, he is in the back behind Hamid Karzai who they brought out of a remote village to lead the country. The picture is from the books cover. If I remember right, all of these guys were killed except Gil and a lieutenant in a errant bomb strike that put a bunker buster bomb right on top of them.
Here is Gil a few years ago, he is in the middle, I made him a few bows as a thank-you for his service. Another friend Nolan is holding his new bow.

Note: His son was looking directly behind Gil when he released on the doe. He felt the arrow was on a perfect tract and the doe moved significantly before the arrow arrived. Yes, Gil is a very good archer.
