I have Jerod Broadfoot sending me over the application forms for joining OOC. Once i have them I can coordinate getting them out to all who want to get involved with fund raising...

I wanted to have some form of legitimate paper work to verify the money donated goes directly to OCC.

Thanks Guys....

Mark...That is a very generous offer....I think I have you matched......We need to shoot for as much support as we can get...I would like to figure out an incentive plan to make it worth going out and getting donations......Open for suggestions?

A few gun raffles perhaps? Especially at the field trials to go on this summer?

For what its worth, I've always thought it would help our fight to have more hound hunting shows on some of the outdoor channels. It would help show the sport, and show all of the hard work that is involved in it. A lot of people think that hound hunting is cruel. They don't understand the sport they just hear of certain unethical hunters doing the wrong thing, and always have that in their minds. I don't know how we could go about it, but I do believe it could help.

Rand, Doug McMann and I think the same.

Two years ago this June Tred Barta harvested a bear over hounds from a Renegade wheel chair....Last June I hauled the Action Track Chair to B.C and Tred harvested another hog Black bear with Skinner Creek Hunts....The show is going to air on NBC Sports this fall.

This February Doug guided Tred once more in his renegade wheelchair. I built a sled to pull behind a snowmobile that can accomidate a wheelchair with help from Renegade Wheelchair manufacturer and owner John Rackley pulled most of the way into a Canadian Lynx treed over hounds taken with a Long Bow and wooden arrows and flint tips hand carved, Female cougar was treed and released as a conservation play. Two trap line calf killing wolves were taken while Tred was present. Going to be a Killer Predator show...To air this fall.

I'm leaving in two weeks for B.C. to take the Action Trackchair once more to B.C. to film another round with another network. I probably can't discuss who will host the hunt....I will guarantee you it will rock the air waves once completed...I located a Wounded Warrior American Hero, Purple Heart, 23 year vet who took an I.E.D. from the bottom of his humvee and 29 operations later and no legs will join the host and Doug to film a spring Black Bear hunt in the Canadian Wilderness. Thanks to non-profit Wounded Warriors in Action founder John McDaniel from Florida.

Last night to help raise funds for OOC. Doug McMann donated a Canadian Lynx hunt this winter for free. I just coordinated this with Jerod Broadfoot....I hope this does not meet reserve in the NRA Banquet tonight in Pendleton. I would love to offer raffle tickets right here to a lucky hound hunter. I will know the outcome tonight....

Next Year in the Spring is booked for three episodes of another big name personality and I will provide another Action Trackchair and seek another disabled sport hunter to take a bear over the hounds....
I have Salem Oregon Legislators support and driving home the importance of keeping the 200 million dollars here in the States vs. sending it out of the country....Just for your information, Our ignorance is much appreciated by the Guide and Outfitter Assoc of B.C. not to mention the Tourism association who finds the funds to help send sport hunters from the U.S. to Canada because it makes them nothing but money.
