Andrews, Samuel CPTR IN – Operation Officer with the MN National Guard stated
“I missed the fall 07 hunting season because I went overseas. This hunt was
amazing, 50 soldiers were provided 3 boxes of shotgun shells, 3 birds per
soldier were set out, a round of sporting clays and lunch. It was a great
time! I was able to hunt with all of my buddies…there were guides w/dogs
from all over Minnesota and Wisconsin. Lots of people say they support the
troops, however The Scott County Chapter of Pheasants Forever and supporters
put their time and money into a great event for us.”
