Hunts for Heroes (AZ Elk Society), along with HEALY Arms, will be holding a hunting clothing drive this weekend at Healy Arms in Tempe At least FIFTY PERCENT of the disabled Arizona military vets that Hunts for Heroes takes out hunting (via Az. G&F's tag transfer program) have never hunted big game. That said, many of these vets are just not adequately prepared when it comes to appropriate clothing and gear needed for their outings. To overcome this problem, the Arizona Elk Society's Hunts for Heroes program hatched the idea of a "Camo Closet". A program to gather up donations new or lightly used camouflage and cold weather clothing that folks have at home that is not getting used. We'd be looking for camouflage clothing, hunting boots (insulated or not), gloves, knit hats, plus cold weather clothing that could be worn under leafy wear/ghillie suits. We need camping and hunting gear too! No Donation is too small - everything matters. When: Saturday, Aug. 26 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. (Mark has okayed extra Thurs, Friday & Sunday Aug. 24/25/27 drop-off for those who can't make it Saturday the 26th) Where: Healy Arms / 1809 E. Baseline Rd., Tempe, Az. 85283 (SE corner McClintock/Baseline, 1/2 mile south of Superstition Fwy) Thanks, everybody --- we'll see you at Healy's Tom Wagner / AZ Elk Society Cell: (480)760-3868
