Wounded Warrior......

Just was sitting here thinking (and waiting on the rest of my trucks to come in to be able to go home) ...I was watching Ms Outdoors last Saturday and they were having a hunt for the "Wounded Warriors" in the area down in Smith County.

Dont really know of who could be contacted but the idea I had.....was I got a boat with a empty seat in it most of the time....just wondered what you all think the response would be to having a event say that goes outta Tommys or Cock of the Walk on a Saturday this summer for a Crappie.com/Wounded Warrior day of fishin.....good publicity and good cause to boot.

Now I cant promise that I'd load the boat for um...but I can promise that the effort would be put into it to do it. And hey once again a opportunity for some good fellowship.

Im just gonna open the door on this and see if ya'll think its do able.

Keep on fishin <'))((><:D

Just a thought, what you all think??

I'd be in 100%.

I would also be in 100%. I might not have boat all put back together,but would ride in boat and help,cook,what ever needs to be done.

This is a start. Others will chime in tomorrow.

Keep in mind before you use crappie.com name , you will have to check with the BOSS MAN

I think Ed would be all in.

We would use crappie.com as the media outlet. We can do this as a reservoir get together. Invite everyone to join in. We would need folks with and without boats. Try to pick a week-end when the 43 pavillion is available. We can get folks like Wlbt and z-106 in it. I know a fellow that is always doing things for the vets. I know he has gotten fish from MCC for fish fries. It could be a big, worthwhile event.

Ok

I'll check with PRV and see what days the 43 Pavillion is available. Then we can go from there. If the lakemaster would give his blessings, we could use this event as a spring or summer camp.

Sounds like a good idea. I'll be there if I can.

Wannabe...

Sounds good to me... I'm in.

Just contacted the WWP for more information. I'll keep y'all posted on what I find out. You might want to go to their web page and look it over. They seem to have their stuff together.

Sounds good to me....if alright with ya'll Im also going to try and send a email to Mississippi Outdoors for some info and also on their facebook page too...we'll see what we get back.....

Hope this is not overstepping my boundries on here ( meaning posting something like a advertisement ) I guess is what I am thinking. But this is what I sent to MDWFP web page asking for info.

"I was watching the Ms Outdoors segment this past weekend about the Wounded Warrior Hunt that was held in Smith County. What a good project to have.

We it gave me the idea of us that enjoy fishing as much as some enjoy hunting are trying to put together and get information on doing a project for Wounded Warriors at the Resovoir this spring or summer up at the pavillion at Tommy's off Highway 43.

Who could we talk too to get info on how it was handled for the local area. How they came up with participants etc. This is off the cuff and we really want this to be a positive thing to bring awareness to this to another group of outdoorsman willing to help.

Any insight you may have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You feel free to do what you want. This will be concerted effort by everyone. The more, the merrier.

Y'all gonna fool around and make me come to the Rez to fesh, ain't ya? I would be willin to help with a boat with an empty seat and can prolly get a few other boats from up this way to help out. I'll see how many boats I can find that will commit to this.

What would be nice is to have a bunch of folks show up. Maybe during the spawn. Might be able to get a bunch of fresh chicken donated and get someone to cook it for everybody.

Y'all check your calenders and see what dates y'all have open if y'all want to persue this little project.

If this work out we need to do one @ Sardis this Summer pulling cranks.

If we carry this event through, it will be held on Barnett in the early fall.

I think it sounds great!! And there is no reason we can't have more than one event, one here in the central part and one up north too.

i think fall would be realistic time. I did get a response back from amanda mills from the wildlife dept. (ms outdoors). And she gave me a mans name at wounded warriors main headquarters. Did a lil research on their web site last night and found out they cant release names of individuals, due to privacy issues....so.....i am going to try and find out the name of the hunting club in smith county where the hunting show was filmed....and see if they will tell me how they came up with the names of participants.

Havent been gave up by a long shot ....but this weather got me snowed under at work....

Thanks guys and yeah.......i think a bunch of us can still make this happen....:d:d:d

We can have more than but lets have one until we know what we're getting into. We don't want to get in over our heads.
