Friday evening, nine men, warriors of various conflicts that have spanned a decade and a half involving America, hopped in their vehicles and began driving mostly west. They traveled interstates, two-lane highways and paved roads that eventually turned into dirt roads flanked on both sides by fields and farm houses, until they finally arrived at a lone country church, Peace Lutheran, the landmark for the last turn west that would deliver them to Hidden Hollow Lodge at Albert. After an evening of getting to know one another and their hosts, Lynn Peterson and other members of the Pheasants Forever #504 chapter, it was off to bed to prepare for the weekend ahead.These, participants in the 2014 Wounded Warrior pheasant hunt hosted by Chapter #504 and Crosby’s Wildgame Adventures woke to clear skies, barely a breeze, and only slightly chilly temperatures, with the forecast for the rest of the day looking increasingly good.
