Kentucky Soldier Wins Hunting Contest While Stationed in Iraq
SPC Rusty McKay of Williamsburg, Kentucky was declared the winner of a 3-day Whitetail deer hunt at Canoe Creek Ranch in Central Kentucky. Mr. McKay is currently serving a second tour in Iraq but hopes to get back to Kentucky to collect his prize in December.
Lancaster, KY (PRWEB) August 23, 2005 -- "What a birthday present!" exclaimed
SPC Rusty McKay upon receiving the news that he was the winner in the August
15th drawing for a Whitetail deer hunt at Canoe Creek Ranch in Central Kentucky.
SPC Rusty McKay's birthday is coming up. It didn't look like there would
be much celebrating this year. On his second tour in Iraq he knew it would just
be another workday. It wouldn't be much different from his last birthday, which
he also celebrated in Iraq. Just 4 days before his birthday he was talking to
his wife, Donna, in Kentucky about the birthday present he wanted.
Rusty
told his wife about the contest he had been entering at the Kentucky hunting
ranch, Canoe Creek Ranch. Almost every night after work Rusty would check his
email, visit Canoe Creek Ranch.com and submit an entry or two.
An avid
hunter since the age of 8, Rusty really wanted to win the 3 day guided Whitetail
deer hunt. He has always wanted to go on a guided hunt and it is scheduled to
take place in December when he expects to be home.
The drawing had
already been held but the public announcement had not been made when Rusty told
his wife that night, “I'm going to win because it's my birthday.” After he
finished his call he checked his email and found the official notification that
he was, indeed, the winner of the contest.
Congratulations, Rusty, and
Happy Birthday!
