Title: hunt giveaway
Post by: PAPA BEAR on September 30, 2008, 09:41:00 PM
hello fellow hunters and shooters.my hunt was a blast had a very good time,passed on smaller bulls tryin to get that 'big one' but no luck this year..enough of that.  :(  
  i am going to give away a one week archery elk hunt in the eagle caps wilderness of ne oregon.i am really hoping that the people who can afford this type of hunt will not toss in names but i cant tell you not to.i would like this to be a once in a lifetime trip for someone who otherwise would never be able to go.
   READ THIS CAREFULLY. this is to the winner:you need to be in the best shape you can get into in the next year.i'm no spring chicken so it won't be a marathon hill climb,but it is tough at times.
 THINGS I PAY...your hunt cost,tag and license,grub. you only pay for your transportation to and from portland oregon. i will be taking names for the next 5 days..if you know someone who has dreamt of a wilderness pack in hunt for elk but cant swing it..by all means nominate them .this hunt is for 2009 archery season (last week of september}....thanks archers   :campfire:    :archer:

This is one of the most if not the most generous offers ive ever seen on TG.

I dont wanna nominate my self but my father. He is going through so much stress trying to afford putting my brother, my sister, and I through college and would love to go out west again (went in 1990 but then decided to have kids and you know how that goes). I would be honored if you could throw my dad into the hat. Thank you!

:scared:  I don't believe this! I was just telling a friend the other day that my dream hunt is for elk!  :pray:  
Please  put me in for this one. See, I don't wanna cry tears in my beer, but the last ten years have been really rough as far as family goes and I've had people tell me to take a break for myself. But I can't afford that kind of thing. Yeah I bought a bow but that's all I've really done for the same time period.

WOW.....what a nice gesture. PLEASE put me into the draw. I am relatively new to the forum, but would absolutely love the opportunity to see Oregon as it can only be experienced by bowhunting. There isn't any way that I could afford such a thing right now, but the future can only get brighter. Thank-You for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Title: Re: hunt giveaway
Post by: imskippy on September 30, 2008, 10:36:00 PM
Wow This is an amazing thing you are doing. I have dreamt of chasing Elk for I don't know how long. I'm 31 a husband and a father of 3 beautiful children. My wife who is a stay at home mom and I have been through alot in the past 11 months both mentally and financially. We have two beautiful and healthy sons 5 1/2 and 4. My daughter who is now 11 months was born with an eye condition called Peters Anomoly. She was basically born blind and with the help of good insurance and modern medicine, she has undergone five surgeries and been under anestesia a total of 8 times. She has had both of her corneas replaced. One at 3 months and the second at 5 months and then the past two months had micro valves installed in her eye to control pediatric qlaucoma which is a charcteristic of the Peters anomoly. Next month she will go under again to exam one of her new corneas which was damaged by the glaucoma pressure to see if she will need another new cornea. I don't want this to sound like a sympathy plea but I thought it appropriate to explain my life and to say that if my wife hunted I would nominate her as she has been the rock which we all depend on. She spent the last 11 months of her life in the car driving my daughter 1 1/2 hours each way to Westchester and New York City for doctor appointments at least once if not two and three times a week. I hope you will consider my name for this drawing. Thank you for taking the time to read my life. Jason "Skippy" Bott

And for those wondering thanks to the wonderful doctor Zaidman and Kane my daughter can now see this beautiful world we live in (although we don't know yet how well) and I hope to show her all the beauty of it some day.

Wow!! Hunting the Eagle Cap has been on my list of things to do. In fact I have thought of retiring in that area.

I am not asking for consideration as I live in Elk Country and believe others should have the experience. I just wanted to thank you for your generosity.

Title: Re: hunt giveaway
Post by: Ray Hammond on October 01, 2008, 05:54:00 AM
I want to put my friend Mike Mitchum in for this one.

I'll make sure he is in shape.

Mike is one of those fellas that trouble just seems to follow- his life has never been easy.

A good father, a hard worker, and gives everyone else the shirt off his back. He doesn't have much, but he is happy with what he has. The mark of a balanced person.

Anyway, he will likely NEVER be able to make a trip like this on his own and I want him to experience something like this at least once, so put his name in there and I will get him into shape! It's a good excuse for ME to do it as well.

You're a fine fellow for doing this!

Post by: snag on October 01, 2008, 09:52:00 AM
A couple of questions...The last week of Sept.?? Has the ODFW even set the season dates yet?  Are you walking in or taking horses? If you are taking horses are you a skilled horseman? You can get in big trouble in those mountains real quick if you don't know what you are doing. How far back in are you going? Do you have the appropriate means of hauling meat out depending on the distance you are going back in? Just somethings that come to mind when considering hunting in one of Oregon's biggest wild areas...

Awesome gesture on your part.  I truly wish I could have you enter my name in the drawing, as an elk hunt is number one on my wish list, but financially- I couldn't afford to get from Michigan to Oregon at this time.  Family first....
and I'm sure there are many deserving guys to choose from.
Good luck to all.  And Elkherder   :notworthy:  
thanks for making this site what it truly is- about friendship and family.

elkherder,

That's a wonderful gesture.  I've been over 20 years trying to get a moose permit here in Maine.  When I bought my first HH longbow last year I even had Craig add a moosehead inlay to it to jinx the system more in my favor but alas, no joy.  Please add my name to the list as I would love to swap coasts and try for a "moose with funny antlers".  The odds have to be better than what I've been what I've been facing!  TNX.

Please add my entry. With my business and 2 young girls, I'll probably never get out there otherwise and it would definitely be a dream hunt for me. I've guided many a hunt, but never been the sport. Plus that's early enough, I could still take my regular sports here in Maine for our seasons.

I would love go on this hunt but I don't feel worthy of your great generosity.  Might I make a suggestion?  There was a touching presentation at this past springs United bowhunters of Missouri banquet buy a family who lost a son.  The young man, about 12 I believe,  was supposed to be sent a hunt thru hunt of a life time but passed away before he could.  How about donating this hunt to that fine organization?  Just a though?

I just moved here to Joseph Oregon not too long ago and have seen plenty of elk, with some big bulls killed.  I haven't hunted here because I have no clue where to go but I have seen animals anyway.  I hope to find a decent spot in the next year or so.

The region is on the Eastern part of the state and the elk are Rocky Mtn. variety.

This is a great offer and would put my own name in, but wouldn't want it to be seen as a conflict of interest.  The generosity here is simply amazing.

Let me know when ya'al get here and we can go to breakfast or something.

I have never been on an elk hunt and think this would be as good a time as any. As far as being in the best shape of my life, NO, that'll never again happen.
I'll be sretching the 60 mark when this hunt goes down.
But I'm game. Please throw my name in the hat.

Didn't realize I had elk in my back yard practically. DO NOT put my name in for this.
