A Hunt Above, Dream Wish Hunting & Fishing Trips

Andy's Deer Hunt in Honor of Susan Snider, Dec. 2006
"A Hunt Above" had a young man contact us for a deer hunt. This young man has had a very tough life. When he was 19 he was involved in a horrible automobile accident. This accident injured his best friend and left Andy with a traumatic brain injury. Andy stayed in a coma for weeks and did not speak for over a year. He is confined to a wheelchair and only has use of his right arm and hand. Then, to make matters worse his father was killed 4 years ago in an automobile accident leaving only his mother to care for him. He grew up hunting and fishing with his dad. We at "A Hunt Above" do take adults on a case by case basis and prayed about this application. We decided to fulfill this young man's dream.

Ya'll meet Andy.

We took Andy out to West Wynne Farms, in Holmes County, which is owned by Don Wynne (the owner of Sonny's BBQ in Jackson and Brandon Ms.).

This hunt took place on New Years Eve (12/31/06). The set up was on a food plot. We tried several weapons to see which was best suited for Andy. We finally decided on a shotgun with buck shot. Andy wanted a family friend to sit with him on this hunt. This gentleman was Dr. William Hand. Also with us was Andy's mother, Sherry, Andy's sister, Mandy and Andy's grandmother, Wilma.

We left Andy and Dr. Hand around 3 pm. Right before dark we heard 2 shots coming from their direction. We went to the field they were hunting, and Andy had shot at a doe. We searched for signs of a hit, but after a couple hours of looking we came up empty handed. Don told us that he would go back in the morning to look again. Mike Macko (Director) received a call from Don at 10 am the next morning saying that they had found the deer, and that it was wounded and still alive. He stated the the deer had gone a long way through the night. The deer was a doe that weighed 95 pounds. Congrads Andy and here are some pictures:

This hunt was in honor of Susan Snider.
