just wanted to share this with yall.
Theres a company called A Hunt Above that grants kids with terminal illnesses a chance to go on a hunt of their choice.
They contacted me and asked if I would be willing to come shoot it. I was GAME!
This little girl,Anna, had bone cancer and always wanted to kill a hog. So i packed up my gear and headed to texas.
We had a great time, and Anna was so excitedto get her first hog!

God's blessings on you and all that were involved in bringing her wish to a reality Chad. Anna looks like she is on top of the world.

Im too old to fall for the wife thing again, give me a lap dog that always greets with a wag and a face lick anytime over something a bit MORE moody. Better yet I'll trade mine for the lens HA! :roflmao:

I have an Olympus e620, not too bad of a camera, more camera than I can fully utilize for my level of experience.
