Story by Arizona Desert Outfitters
This next hunt was sure something special. We had just finished three hunts and were packed up and leaving camp when I got a call from @tomwagneraz . A sheep tag had just been donated to his organization and the season had already started. When I found out who was getting the tag, I knew we had to step up and help at no charge.
Command Master Chief, Teddy Seitz, is a true hero and an all-around badass! He spent 25 years serving our country in the United States Navy as an explosive ordnance technician. He was deployed on multiple combat tours, survived multiple explosions, and sustained several injuries. Master Chief Seitz was an honorary recipient of the Bronze Star for his heroic combat actions. He is from my hometown of Wickenburg and grew up with my older brother. To say this tag was well deserved is an understatement!
When I got the word out to our team they immediately jumped in to help. @chad_roberts88 , @andygrand and @tonystanley387 started working on getting a plan together to hunt the weekend and find a big ram for Teddy. On the 3rd day of hunting and after passing multiple rams, the guys found the ram they were looking for. They made a plan and after getting into range Teddy made an unbelievable shot on the ram of his dreams!
There were so many great folks who stepped up to make this hunt happen! Thank you Chad, Andy and Tony for stepping up to help Teddy and get him a Kofa stud! Thank you @tomwagneraz and @heroesrisingoutdoors for all you do for our veterans! Thank you to the family that chose to donate this tag to a very deserving man!
Congratulations, Master Chief Seitz , and thank you for your service and sacrifice to our country! I’m glad you had an epic experience and found the ram of your dreams!
