He's rebounding nicely from his surgery a couple months ago. Been in touch with him regularly ...

Copied from a thread I posted to elsewhere earlier today: "Tony and I had been communicating back and forth the past few months. He drew a late rifle Unit 23 bull tag this year and knew his worsened physical condition was going to prevent him from getting out for that one last hunting trip...

Good (and very knowledgeable) folks I've known for several years! They've guided (pro bono) some of our disabled veterans to very nice animals, both elk and pronghorn around the Flagstaff area (including an honest 350" bull). As mentioned, they're also successful on Kaibab deer hunts ...

Both programs do good things: one of the main things Outdoor Experiences for All is known for is getting children with life threatening illnesses out into the field; the focus of Heroes Rising Outdoors (a program of the Arizona Elk Society) is to get disabled Arizona veterans out into the woods...

Hey Tony, good to see you feeling better! Not my ram. Taxidermist was Clay Goldman, owner of Mogollon Taxidermy in Payson. Most agree he's the best bighorn taxidermist in Arizona ...

If you decide you want to return the tag, PLEASE contact me! I lead the Arizona Elk Society's Heroes Rising Outdoors program, taking disabled Arizona veterans hunting free-of-charge using big game tags donated to us. You'll save all your preference points, plus be awarded another for this year...

Sent you a PM ...

POOR choice now!!! MINIMUM elk there (seriously) and NOT a quality experience, especially considering how far you'd be traveling to get here. We've taken a couple veterans hunting on that hunt (the tags were donated for a reason) ...

My name is Tom Wagner (I lead the Arizona Elk Society's Heroes Rising Outdoors / Hunts for Heroes program). As has already been posted in this tread, our program provides hunts to disabled Arizona veterans, at no cost to the vet, using donated tags from people who decide they can't do their hunt...

Well earned, Jason --- that's some true grit right there (and a really nice buck)... Lv2hnt "Every man dies --- not every man really lives."

I copied this from another web site: "This is Don Martin, volunteer Chief Instructor for the Arizona Game & Fish Department in Kingman. I teach the one day Supplemental or Non-resident class. I have applied to the Department to teach the next class on Saturday, January 5, 2019 here in Kingman...

Congrats to everyone involved --- great bull! Hogan knows his stuff and is a great guy on top of that ... Lv2hnt "Every man dies --- not every man really lives."

Shane: Thanks again for giving someone with life challenges an opportunity to step away from things and unwind in Arizona's amazing outdoors! Through the Arizona Elk Society's Heroes Rising Outdoors/Hunts for Heroes program, many disabled vets are discovering a new brotherhood in the hunting...

Much appreciated, Dave! Will be a great adventure for a disabled Arizona veteran. Will keep you posted ... Lv2hnt "Every man dies --- not every man really lives."

Good luck with that! If they want it, they'll take it (lag bolts, cables, and lock boxes be damned). Voice of experience ... Lv2hnt "Every man dies --- not every man really lives."

I agree w/ BOHNTR ... Lv2hnt "Every man dies --- not every man really lives."

Experienced guide Duwane Adams wrote an excellent book on hunting Kaibab mule deer (not a better one out there): http://www.azbiggamehunting.com/books/ Good luck on your hunt! Lv2hnt "Every man dies --- not every man really lives."

Good talking w/ you today, hornguy! Thanks to you, a disabled Arizona vet will now have one heck of a deer hunt this year! Lv2hnt "Every man dies --- not every man really lives."

LAST EDITED ON Jul-05-18 AT 08:13PM (MST)[p]This is Tom w/ Hunts for Heroes here in Arizona. We'd love to accept your deer tag --- you'd be putting a disabled Ariz. vet out there after a good muley with that tag! We walk everything through G&F in person to make sure everything goes smoothly...

Darrack: I'm the Tom (w/ Hunts for Heroes) that Stanley mentioned earlier in this thread. Give me a call: (480)760-3868 ... Lv2hnt "Every man dies --- not every man really lives."

Lisa: Sorry we missed each other (still haven't met face-to-face, darn it!). Our camp tagged out on 4 bulls (3 were vet hunters), 'tho none as big as yours ;-). Was within a second of getting a fourth, but so be it. We (the vet I was with) glassed up several GOOD bulls, but they either dropped...

NICE bull, Lisa! You're right, it was a tough hunt. Had 4 vets on the same hunt with Arizona Elk Society's Hunts for Heroes program (I'm now a coordinator)... Lv2hnt "Every man dies --- not every man really lives."

Living here in Arizona, I've seen a lot of desert sheep mounts. This one stands right there with the best of them --- congrats! Lv2hnt "Every man dies --- not every man really lives."

I remember, Joey. Yep, good memories from a just "few" years back. I started out in Arizona Stadium as a boy scout usher in the very early '60s when Jim LaRue was head coach (he later was secondary coach when Bears won Super Bowl). While in college I rooted hard for linebacker friend of mine...

M-a-n-y think Clay Goldman does best bighorn sheep in Arizona (I heartily agree!). FYI, he's mounted many of Ariz. state raffle tag winners' rams. You'd be wise to at least give him a ring ... www.mogollontaxidermy.com Lv2hnt "Every man dies --- not every man really lives."

LAST EDITED ON Nov-12-14 AT 00:54AM (MST)[p]I'm not sure if I understand your question (the thread title is "droptines"). If you're talking about how westerners categorize normal bucks in everyday conversation, eye guards are NOT counted. Most Coues deer have 3 points per side (plus eye guards)...
