Guy's as you know, JiM has been down and out with some health issues for a few weeks.

His recent heart attack, and bypass surgery will have him on the sidelines for a while. Times are rough for him not being able to work or to hunt.

I would like to organize a benefit hunt for JiM. I'm not sure how to go about it. The weekends here are filled to the gills with hunts every Friday and Saturday night this time of year....

I'd like for this to be successful, any ideas?

Dwills,

I understand that they only have three hunts a month (UKC, AKC, and PKC)....the issue is that the folks that would come to the hunt don't just hunt at Wyatt.

I am going to coordinate something, but I want it to be a success..... I want a bunch of guys to be able to attend. I've already talked to three fellows from Northern Indiana outside of the Wyatt area.

We will put something together....just not sure just what or when...but I'd like to get the ball rolling soon.

JiM is a good friend to many people. He has helped out a bunch of young guys and youth hunters, and he has his eye on the future of the sport.....we need to do something to bring some of his effort back to him.

The spirit is there, the logistics are not together yet.
