Montana Fish & Float Trip at Camp Bullwheel

9/27/2019

0 Comments

 
September 15th - 19th, 2019

Location: Camp Bullwheel, Ennis, MT.
Hosted By: River Deep Foundation and SCI HOP 
Participants: Operation TBI Freedom & Ft. Carson Warrior Transition Battalion

We had Soldiers and Veterans from Ft. Carson’s WTB, and Operation TBI Freedom who all traveled to Ennis, Montana for a Fish & Float Trip on the Madison River. This trip, we had to deal with the weather and the wind. Peter Pauwels and the guides he finds to volunteer with him, were still able to give us an amazing trip even though we only had one full day of fishing on the Madison.

On our second day in Montana, we did like tourists do and we explored Ennis and the surrounding area. What a day we had learning about some of Montana’s rich history! Our Third day we found our way up into the mountains, as far as our vehicle would take us, to a spot where we parked so we could hike about half a mile to a small mountain lake. It was a beautiful little lake full of Cut bow trout. Everyone had a great time as we spent the entire day fishing and catching fish, after fish. These trips we do to Montana are absolutely amazing!

The folks at Camp Bullwheel really do make this trip worthwhile, everything from the food to the guides and the stories, what a great place to make new friends and lasting memories.

Today we closed our amazing season of equine assistant learning at the U.S. Air Force Academy Equestrian Center, Remount Foundation, in Colorado Springs, CO. We had a community partner in attendance, the opportunity to learn more about Equine assisted learning, and how beneficial working with horses can be with our PTSD and TBI's.

After spending some time grooming the horses and learning from our instructor, Jeanne Springer, we went for a nice long trail ride around the Air Force Academy

September 21st, 2019

Location: Lincoln Hills Fly Fishing Club, Black Hawk, CO.
Hosted By: River Deep Foundation and SCI HOP 
Participants: Craig Hospital, Operation TBI Freedom & Ft. Carson Warrior Transition Battalion

We have a large and enthusiastic group ready to fish the creek and ponds of Lincoln Hills. We start with instruction from our expert guides, after that its time to put the waders on and head to the water. Everyone is having success whether in the creek or the pond, and the trout will all be released for another days' adventure. After a morning of fishing we head to the eco-center deck and enjoyed a delicious barbeque lunch from Jim N' Nicks and traded fish stories.

For most of the group, this was their first experience with a fly rod, and everyone had a great day. Thanks to Lincoln Hills, Anglers of Honor, and all the guides and volunteers.

Location: Denver Fencing Center, Denver, CO.
Hosted By: River Deep Alliance and SCI HOP
Participants: Operation TBI Freedom, Ft. Carson WTB

This past Saturday, we were introduced to Fencing at the premier Fencing center in Colorado, the Denver Fencing Center. We started with the proper foot placement and posture, along with the basics of Fencing. We suited up along with our instructor for the day Chris, and proceeded to fence. We then paired up with other participants from our group. Most kept score and everyone had their game faces on! I don't think everyone is really aware of the workout that goes along with Fencing, but it shows in everyones face when the masks come off. Win or loose, it was a lot of fun and very challenging. A big thanks to the Denver Fencing Center.

It's a beautiful, fall day in northern Colorado. We gathered at the CYO outdoor pavilion, that is surrounded by ponds and the 3-D archery course. After a brief talk on the day's activities, we all headed out to the ponds and archery course. Everyone, including the kids, was catching fish and the families at the archery range were having a great time.

Midday we gathered back up at the outdoor pavilion for a fantastic barbecue lunch, and continued on with the afternoon's activities. It's been a fun day and a big thanks to Colorado Youth Outdoors and it's staff, along with all the River Deep volunteers.

Dove Hunt at Valhalla Hunt Club
It's opening day for dove season. We gathered in a grassy field with trees and a pond. We spread out under the trees, which are located close by. The doves flew overhead, some spotted us and veered off. With dove hunting, you have to be quiet and invisible, the doves are small, fast and erratic in their flight pattern.

At the end of our morning hunt, we managed a bag of doves, which will be very appreciated around the dinner table. We headed back to the clubhouse for lunch and small talk about the upcoming hunting season. It's been a great day and a big thanks to Valhalla Hunt Club, and Russell and Steph for hosting us.
