briant_az Report post Posted September 20, 2016 I've got some friends helping a kid in 5bs on a bull hunt and they could use some help. Tyler is here hunting from California through the Hunt of a Lifetime program. He has lymphoma and is currently in remission. He has been here hunting since Friday morning with his father and uncle. They were all supposed to leave today to go home, but decided to stay to the end of the hunt. A couple of my friends volunteered for the program and have been helping him since they got here. The bulls have been very call shy and its been a tough hunt for them so far. They've had a couple close calls but we would really like to get him a bull. If anyone would be willing to help in any way, can you please PM me. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't ask for anyone's hunting spots or help. I would really like to see Tyler get his elk though. Thank you guys! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norteno Report post Posted September 23, 2016 Did the kid get on any Bulls? Hoping for a good outcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
briant_az Report post Posted September 24, 2016 Unfortunately Tyler was unable to harvest a bull. He did get three opportunities though. The last night of the hunt they had a nice bull come in. One of my buddies was able to cow call and stop the bull. Tyler only had a short time to shoot, and forgot to take the safety off the crossbow. Bummed that it didn't work out for him. It sounds like he had a good time though. This was his first hunt and hopefully he will get to experience many more. It sounds like he might come out in January for a javelina hunt. I really hope he does. Thank you everyone that pm'd me to try and help him. This forum and all the people here are awesome. Good luck to everyone on the upcoming hunts. The best time of the year is here! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluedevil Report post Posted September 24, 2016 Oh man that's a bummer. I was hoping he would get one. Hopefully he had a great time being out there and seeing the elk. The close calls are exciting too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TOBY Report post Posted October 1, 2016 Not one outfitter could step up and help a hunt of a lifetime tag? Glad the kid had a good time anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
