As we all know South Louisiana has taken quite a blow from the flooding recently and it may not be over. I have been told of at least 10 hunters who have water in their homes. I'm sure there are many more than that. I woke up this morning feeling compelled to do something to help. I know supplies of all kinds will be needed. The problem with gathering supplies is getting them there and distributing them. We as hound owners like to say that we step up and help our fellow hunters. Well here is our opportunity. I have spoken to a representative of Showtime feed. If we can come up with $1000 we can get a ton of 24-20 delivered to that area and they will match that ton. That's 2 tons of feed to be distributed to those hunters. They can in turn use money they would spend on feed for more pertinent items. In my mind I'm thinking $1000 is nothing if all the hunters will donate just a little. I'm not satisfied with setting a goal of getting them 2 tons of feed. I think at least 4 tons sounds better. Folks we could all be in a situation like this whether it be from flooding, tornadoes, ice storms, etc... Step up and help your fellow hunter. I have enlisted the help of Kyle N Lesli Efird and Brenda Turner to help with collecting donations. Please donate any amount you can to help. We would like to have all donations collected by August 25th. Please comment on this post if you intend to donate so we can have an idea of where we stand. There is no need to list the amount you intend to donate unless you want to do it and tag a friend to challenge them to match your donation.
Signed Walter.
