Heroes Rising Outdoors / Hunts for Heroes has its basis in the Arizona elk Society (which as the name states, isn't deer oriented). That said, we've recently been donated some individual "any antlered deer" tags for a few Arizona units and could use some help for hunts that start Friday, Oct. 25. Those hunt units include: 18B / 19A / 20A. Who will be out hunting in one of these units on the Oct. 25 deer hunt and would welcome an Arizona veteran into your deer camp? I'd be glad to chat with you about what that would entail --- mainly helping get a vet out and away from his/her everyday routine, helping that individual reconnect with their inner self in a non-threatening environment. The camaraderie we all enjoy while hunting has often been eliminated from the veteran now that they're back from deployment and back in society. Showing them what hunting in Arizona is all about helps open their eyes to new possibilities! Our HRO hunts aren't focused on hunting the largest animals on the mountain, rather offer a healing experience via the hunt to veterans who've given a LOT while serving their country. There are members here on the CWT forums who can vouch for how rewarding this can be, both for the volunteer as well as the veteran. If this reach-out hits home with you, please, don't hesitate to give me a call: (480)760-3868 --- time is of the essence. You'll be making a real difference in a veteran's life! Thanks from all of us at Heroes Rising Outdoors, --- Tom Wagner

Highest respect! Inspiring to see love of country still lives in our youngest generation. You done good, dad ...

In the East Valley, I can personally recommend Weston Farnes (TruBuilt) - (480)734-3641. Solid work, fair price, and an outdoorsman to boot ...

I'd be smiling, too! Congrats!

Most of us would rather be lucky than good. Roy, in this case, we all know you fall in the 2nd category! Kudos to you, amigo!

I talked to someone this evening who has a place right at Mormon Lake. Like everyone has said, the rut has been slow to get going again this year. But, the bugles are starting to ring out now ...

Just like the "Mexican" wolves, one more thing the Feds are ramming down our throats ...

I have a crossbow, accessories, and target I need to get to a disabled vet in Tucson this week for an upcoming elk hunt next month. The lady vet needs time to get acquainted with it pre-hunt (we have someone down there lined up to help her do just that). Give me a call if you're making the trip and can help with the transport: (480)760-3868 ... Thanks! --- Tom

Got it covered --- thanks James!

1stcoues: Call me this morning (480)760-3868 ... thx

Thanks to all who lent their support (we'll get a vet out hunting in a few weeks using an archery cow tag)! Like Flatlander said, Eddie has done a lot of good for everyone he reaches out to ...

Hey All: Getting slammed right now with Heroes Rising Outdoors responsibilities. Anyone available the next 7-10 days to stop by my house in N. Gilbert to repack wheel bearings on open utility trailer I use in the field? It's been a couple years since last done and I'd feel better not having to worry about them this season. Thanks! --- Tom

90-degree turn after the fact. You guys ...

Thanks Edge, but have someone here on East Side who can get to it this Tuesday (which has lowered my stress level already). You're still The Man!

Tim, you're just so darn far away (I thought of you)! I'm leaving town with it in two weeks, needs to be done by Tues., Aug 20 at the absolute latest ...

Equine therapy for veterans, partnering with fishing therapy organizations, family camping possibilities --- plus ???

Thanks everyone for the support! Matt and I just talked about his brother's tag and he'll be donating it to Heroes Rising Outdoors / Hunts for Heroes. BTW, we'll be shifting our name over to Heroes Rising Outdoors as we begin to expand our outreach beyond just hunting to the veteran community here in Arizona. Same program getting wounded veterans out hunting via donated tags. And we always welcome anyone who wants to give back in a volunteer capacity on our hunts! Just contact me: (480)760-3868 ... Good hunting this fall! --- Tom

Can't make it tomorrow, maybe another time (?). Are you talking about the one on south McQueen Road (Paseo Vista)?

Go get 'em, guys!

Tougher for me in many ways than losing a good 2-legged friend. My heart goes out to you and your family ...

Hey All: We placed Hunts for Heroes brochures in 3 Yuma locations a while back. Now need to refill the acrylic brochure holders with our updated materials. Any CWTer have plans to make the trip to Yuma soon who wouldn't mind helping out on a simple task? I leave tomorrow to help on some youth turkey hunts --- best to text or call me: (480)760-3868 ... Much appreciated! --- Tom

Hard to beat the time when CWT came together the last week of December, 2017 to help the Hunts for Heroes veteran tag out on the 37B desert sheep!

Tim, that was a special post! CWTers putting others 1st again ...
