This is honestly one of the coolest stories I’ve been able to share on this podcast! Today I’m joined by Caleb Brewer, a double amputee Army Special Forces Vet, who was given an Arizona Bighorn Sheep tag at the last minute. Also on the line are the two Ryans - Ryan Gentry and Ryan Smith - two active duty Air Force guys who jumped in to help with Caleb’s hunt.
This tag was in rugged and remote country, so they knew they’d face some challenges getting Caleb around in there. But, the way the hunt came together and the story unfolded was absolutely amazing! More than that, the camaraderie between everyone involved and the lengths these guys were willing to go to help a fellow Vet is nothing short of inspiring.
