The
5th
Wallace "Frank" Hall, Jr. Memorial Hunt at the Snowshoe Mountain
Resort was held December 8 & 9, 2004.
Once again the hunters were 100%
successful in harvesting an antlerless deer. In 5 years our 36
hunters have all harvested a deer. More importantly all hunters
returned home safely and just delighted to have participated in the
hunt. We had people from coast to coast this year. We had a hunter
from California and a hunter from New Jersey. The other seven
hunters this year where all from West Virginia.
With the team work of WVHEA, WVDNR, WV
Tourism, Snowshoe Resort, our guest where treated to a first class
event. Thanks to the
individuals that come to help with this event , Randy & Carol,
George & Donna, Danny, Junior, Homer, Susan, Jason, Steve, Brian,
Josh, Randy, Larry, Tim, Dave, Jim & Bobby Dale, the hunt was
a great time for all. We thank
Chris, Darrell, Frank, Kelly, Robert, Joseph, Paul, Jonathan and
William for having faith in the people above to deliver them to the
field in usually bad wet, cold snowy weather to participate in the
outdoor sport of deer hunting. You guys have enlightened others
making it possible for other Challenged Hunters to find
opportunities in the outdoors.
All deer where checked and tagged by
DNR. Skinning and packaging of the venison was done on site.
The financial help for this event has
been great. I think every meal and the rooms where taken care of
from donations from many sources this year.
Thanks again to the GREAT FOLKS at
SNOWSHOE MOUNTAIN RESORT for there hospitality.
Note: Prior to the hunt all
participants had been interviewed, showed proof of completing
a certified hunter education course and qualified with the firearm
they would be using in the hunt. Everyone's health & safety
is our #1 priority. Total enjoyment of the event #2. For more information contact
