Wounded Warrior’s 9k-Mile Journey Continues, Hunting Axis Deer in Texas

Escondido Ranch was recently the ‘Texas stop’ for Eric Edmundson, a wounded Army Sargeant & Purple Heart recipient, on his quest to fulfill a lifelong dream of hunting big game across the United States.  His 9,000 mile journey is supported by the Wounded Warrior Project and will include hunts for gator, pronghorn and exotics.  At Escondido Ranch, Eric was able to harvest a beautiful Axis buck (pictured here), thanks to perfect heart/lung shot, with the aide of his custom made Razor, equipped with a joy stick.  He also managed to help the ranch out with a little wild hog eradication!  Read more about Eric’s incredible journey in the press release below:

Jacksonville, FL (July 28, 2011) – Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) announces today their support of wounded Iraqi veteran Eric Edmundson’s journey to complete his life-long dream of a “Grand Slam.”  Eric Edmundson is a retired Army Sergeant and Purple Heart recipient who suffered a traumatic and anoxic brain injury. Eric requires full-time assistance from his wife and other family members.
