85 Hunt of a Lifetime

From the Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, PA, we meet two representatives for Hunt of a Lifetime, a non-profit organization dedicated to fulfilling hunting and fishing dreams for people 21 and under facing life-threatening illnesses or disabilities. Grant Fritz is a lifelong hunter who has been volunteering with the organization for over twenty years. Gabe Kerchner is a cancer survivor who shares the story of his Arizona mountain lion hunt. Together, they are part of a team of dedicated volunteers that reaches across the US and Canada to help make dreams come true when it matters most.  Our Sponsors:  Thin Green Line Podcast Don Noyes Chevrolet Sovereign Sportsman Solutions “A Cowboy in the Woods” Book Hunt of a Lifetime Maine's Operation Game Thief Wildlife Heritage Foundation of NH International Wildlife Crimestoppers Here’s what we discuss: GRANT  Over 20 years with Hunt of a Lifetime Joining the organization; the first hunt Close to 2000 hunts Moose hunting in a broccoli patch They didn’t choose this Being part of the solution My world is in a tree stand Many tears have been shed You can help Bringing joy to a sick child Reach out if you know a child who would like a dream fulfilled GABE Diagnosed at 12 Making contact with Hunt of a Lifetime Receiving and training with a new rifle Hunting with hound dogs Others joined the hunt Why mountain lion?  Gearing up at Bass Pro Shops Hunted on a ranch Post-surgical challenges on the hunt 2015 relapse Fishing trips are also an option Lifelong friends Importance of supporting the organization An amazing experience, even without a mountain lion The grizzly bear hunt was too risky Credits Hosts: Wayne Saunders and John Nores Producer: Jay Ammann Art & Design: Ashley Hannett Content Coordinator: Stacey DesRoches Subscribe: Apple Podcasts Spotify Amazon Google Waypoint Stitcher TuneIn Megaphone Find More Here: Website Warden’s Watch / TGL Store Facebook Facebook Fan Page Instagram Twitter YouTube RSS Learn more about your ad choices.
