Thank you it's mean alot to us brothers and sisters, I'm a Marine Iraqi combat vet and I help the wounded warriors.
If I attend, the option of hunting for three or four day's would be appealing vs. only two as you previously described. Would that be possible? It's about a 300 mile hike from Minneapolis...

Great job on hosting a wounded warrior! Do the same rates apply to them, or is the person bringing them responsible to foot the bill?I have had an idea for awhile now and I have decided to act on it. What I am suggesting is that I will host a hunt and invite UPH members to participate. It will be much like the pre season hunt done in Minnesota except that it will be late season, it will be wild birds and it will benefit The Wounded Warriors. The details are, I am going to collect $50 per night for the lodging, which I am going to keep for the expenses. I am going to charge $60 dollars per day for hunting which is about half price. That $60 dollars will be donated to The Wounded Warriors. I am not limiting anyone to $60 dollars but that is the minimum. This is a no frills hunt and it will be WILD birds. You can do your own cooking in our stocked kitchen. I will provide some hamburger. We have beds for 12 but the beds are bunk beds so if we get 12 hunters six of them are going to have to be young enough to get to the top bunk. The last hunters that I have booked will be done hunting December 12th. I am assumming that this needs to be done on a weekend but it does not matter to me. The week end of the 8th and 9th will have 2 days rest and the weekend of the 15th and 16th will have 3 days since the last hunters. I am not responsible for the weather. I will not collect any deposits. If the weather gets too tough and the birds are in survival mode I will cancel the hunt and we will try again next year. I am sure that this will create some questions that I have not thought of. Feel free to ask them. There are two options for dogs I have an uninsulated hoop building that can be used, or dogs that are used to warmer conditions can be in the bunkhouse in a kennel. So that is the nuts and bolts of my idea. If any one has suggestions as to how this can be better, I welcome them. I hope this can be a fun time and that we can do some good for those that have done so much for us. I am not picking a date at this time, we will see how much interest there is and when people want to do this.

Haymaker, your doing enough my friend I think we can raise the small amount to pay this gentleman's way.
Would it be a okay if those interested can send you donations toward his hunt?

Thanks you for that kind offer. I guess that would be OK, or you could contribute when we do the UPHWW hunt. I will leave it entirely up to you. But I really appreciate the idea. That is what this is all about, helping those who do so much for us.
Thank you for your good works my friend. I won't be attending the hunt but would love to donate towards the gentleman's hunt Haymaker. PM me with mailing info when it's time to get this thing rolling.
Thanks again.:cheers:
If you want to split it or something, pm me I would be more than happy to chip in.
Yeah, that sounds good Carp. Thanks brother.:cheers:
Haymaker, if you don't mind send us the info when all is ready and set to go with this gentlemen that would be great.
Thank you!

haymaker, do you have a count on the number of hunters that will be there. Lots of chatter on this thread, which is good, but I don't see many commiting to attend. Maybe they are sending you PM's? I was just wondering.
As a former vet (Vietnam era) I plan to attend but can't definately commit at this time.
