Does anyone want to try to set up a veteran mud run, somewhere that everyone can join in on, just putting a feeler out

where in Texas?

anywhere really

I'd be down for something like that for sure depending on when and just how far.

Get it started, I'm sure plently of people would be in for a good cause. I've been wanting to do one of the veteran fishing tournaments just to so my appreciation, but seems like everyone I find I am working the weekend of.

Id be down for a ride and would be willing to help out whatever. Either Wallisville or SETX would be ideal seeing how almost everyone from TX with a mud motor is the general area and LA is close

Ok cool, I'll do some checking about sponsors

Let us know what you find out and we could set something up, general SETX area would be ideal since theres alot of people. I'll be more than willing to tote around a boat full of veterans for the day and im positive many others here will be too.

Roger that

Any progress on this?

Not really, I'll put it out more when I get home

I won't be able to till mid November

What about a split ride? That would be fun an there's plenty of mud that time of year

Hell yea, gotta get people together

I'd be down but how bout a new location ? Any ideas ? A new spot would be nice

SETX? Lol

December 5th would be the weekend

I am in Florida, so too far for me, but I love the idea! I hope you guys pull it off and have a big turn out.

I want a big turn out

November through end of January I won't go anywhere just to ride. Sorry. This boat is setup for duck season during that time, and that's all I'll be doing when I'm not working or sleeping.

No I mean a different spot in SETX gotta be somewhere !

Might just wait till seasons done

That time of year is when your going to find mainly mud and theres not but like 2 places in SETX that hold good enough mud and that's wallisville and port neches, just about everywhere else is sandy. Early-mid February is when lake miller is usually completely empty and the mud in there is about perfect to ride in. That would be fun only problem would be the SETX ride is around the same time..

How exactly are you wanting to do this? Like take vets out to the ride or a fundraiser type ride like everyone that brings a boat pays $20 or something to ride then it all get donated? Or both?

Probably sell food and drink and maybe have a raffle if I get support so we can get veterans out to hunts or outdoors events

That would work. I was thinking along the lines of like maybe $20 "entry fee" per boat and put that all towards a vet foundation like lone survivor foundation or WWP. Alot of these guys i know would be more than willing to pay up $20 knowing it's going to something for a good cause. $20 donf sound like much but It all adds up in the end.

Yea I agree

I'll reach out for auction items if nothing gets donated I'll buy some yetis and hunting gear

Just need to decide on a date and type up all the info and throw it out there i cyber mudfest where everyone can see it. It'll grab some attention

I will

Shit the duck lease I lease out is like SETX but most other places in My area good to ride are private land

Where's your lease

Cameron parish. its kinda out of he way. My point is there has to be somewhere else to ride. I am up for anything though. if there is no where else to ride it don't matter I just enjoy being out on the water/mud

Yeah i know what your saying. Just that time of year theres alot of good mud to ride on but that's about the only 2 options. Everywhere else is pretty sandy and thats no fun lol

Lol I hear ya. My lease is great to ride at but its my lease lol

Your lease have any openings

Nope that's the other problem in leased it out so I hate to ride it while I have leasers

Oh roger

I tried to put a ride together similar to this a year or so ago. Tons of volunteers for boats etc.
We had decided Wallisville was the best spot, because of the pavilion to take a break at during lunch.

I got in touch with CajunDan (He's a member on here) - He is part of the Banded Brigade Outdoors.
http://bandedbrigadeoutdoors.org/

They take Veterans hunting and other activities.
We had spoke a length on the logistics of this, and basically he could put me in contact with the actual Veteran's to take out for a day on the water.

Honestly I got too busy with other things (Mostly a new child) and haven't had the time to resurface this endeavor.

November would be a good time to do this (In the split) as it is usually a little cooler for everyone. Or maybe October, or early spring.
