Dear Freedom Hunt,
I (Brandon’s Dad) introduced Brandon to hunting at the age of 10 where he like to join me no matter what I was hunting that day. A couple of years after that, he passed his Hunter's Education Class and was shown how to trap shoot and fell in love with the sport.
Over a year later, Brandon was invited to participate in the First Freedom Hunt. Even though he did not harvest a deer that year he had the time of his life. That weekend turned Brandon into a hunting fanatic; he now hunts dove, pheasant, duck, rabbit, deer and possibly black bear this fall.
Thank you to everyone associated with Freedom Hunt. We both hope to continue to volunteer so that we can share our passion for hunting with other kids like Brandon.
