Can’t wait to get up there for this weekend. This is our first real Kaibab experience. I am as giddy excited as the 10 year old.

That’s a great set up for a hunting camp. Just stack folks in there.

If anyone knows Daniel Brooks please thank him for donating his cow tag to OE4A. I don't know what circumstances led to him choosing to give it up, but I can promise that he made one very happy 10 y/o in the process. Hope to follow up with pictures after the hunt in November.

Well this weekend was my son Hunters first time out with a tag in his pocket. When it was app season I went through all the choices for him and he said he wanted to put in for deer, bighorn and turkey. I’ve never hunted fall turkey before but figured if he was interested we would give it a try. He was lucky enough to draw a turkey tag and a juniors Kaibab tag. This weekend was the turkey hunt and next weekend we head to the North Rim. Although we didn’t kill a turkey it was good prep for his true “first hunt” next weekend. It was great to spend some time together and see him start to catch the bug. He has a pretty full fall ahead of him as he was also donated a cow elk tag for next month.

That’s a lot of backstraps and tenderloins. Mmmmmm....

Notice the kid curled up in a ball behind the rock in the blind. It was 58 and he was freeeezing

You have no idea what happened. Elk can move a LOT with a single step. It’s easy to second guess based on a nasty pic but there is no way to understand the circumstances that lead to that shot. Its definitely a shame. That’s a giant 11m bull. Somebody is sick over it I am sure.

That’s not quite right, kids need to have some sort of disability but the state does not require it to be terminal. Thank God, since my boy received one of these tags this year.

Casey if you know something please speak up, but if you don’t its probably worth finding out what organization these tags are donated through and how they distribute them. Vague posting in an accusatory tone is not going to accomplish much.

Snowing in 4B this morning!

Bear meat is delicious. I killed mine on a drynyear and there was little fat or grease. once you slow cook anything and make green Chile it really doesn’t matter what it started out as.

Happy birthday Hector!

One of my young men is in the Detroit mission now. He was in Cleveland and them they combined them. His name is Hicks. Excited for you to get your boy back!

Unit 31 is pretty 2wd Friendly. I hunted it with my ranger lots of times. Just hike and glass. Lots of deer. As many pigs as anywhere else. Good luck!

A great organization that does a lot across the country to fight HS US and similar organizations

Hey Dave, I agree with you on this. That was a D move for him to do that. As others have said, further from roads reduces these encounters.

Congrats Brian! You are one great uncle. Always helping out those nephews!

Been there every year since I can remember

Quit sandbagging. Everyone knows what’s going on up in 4B.

If you don’t hunt open country via glass often, just rent. Optics4rent and Ross both rent good stuff. You will end up with much better equipment with out spending nearly as much money. I would recommend the largest objective spotter you can get. Paired with your 15’s you will be in good shape.

This is the dude you want to talk to TC Fish ‭+1 (480) 390-5841‬ Tell him Andrew sent you.

Either of these groups is great. It will either end up in the hands of a kid with health challenges or a disabled vet. Pretty cool deal. I know Tom well and Eddy helped me navigate stuff for my kids CHAMP and crossbow permits.

Poor man’s Unit 9. Should be a fun week. Enjoy the trip, wish I was heading out right now!

Yes, if you purchased point guard you will retain your bonus points if you donate your tag. What are you thinking of donating? Eddy Corona OE4A ‭+1 (480) 529-8340‬ Tom Wagner Hunts 4 Heroes ‭(480) 760-3868‬
