krp Report post Posted November 4, 2021 Ok I know I can get the 25 bucks from Johnny, Chris, Chris. If the other guys aren't close to me in mesa just send the money to John in Star Valley. I did just order a small slip on limbsaver that should be here friday, before John picks it up. Kent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JLG Report post Posted November 5, 2021 Guys I just want to thank you all for your generosity, solid bunch of guys. Not surprised this was the end result. I will have the ammo and guns by the end of the weekend. I had another offer from a member in a private message for another 410. She has the 9 year old daughter who has the passion and an 11 year old son who also hunts so figured why not get them both one. Pretty excited to see the reaction of the mom and some pictures of the kids enjoying their guns. When I get the pictures I will share them with you all. Thank you. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just met Huntnfish, he and his wife drove to Payson from Camp Verde, not only did he give me the shotgun shells he also provided a generous amount of 22 shells for plinking and practice. In our conversation he mentioned he could see the little girls passion and he wanted to help fuel it. This feels really good. Can't wait to get this stuff in her and her brothers hands. Thank you all. Thank you, Barry... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't do it but she is saving them for actual Christmas gifts. She said they will be on Christmas break for the last week of the year and will get them out for the last week of squirrel season. She kept asking if she owed me any money and I said no. She repeated a few times that you all without knowing her and her children would do what you did. I said the only thing wanted was some pictures of the kids enjoying the guns with some big smiles and she said she would do that. Thanks again everyone...

I told the Momma the story you told me and she was floored. She was touched. Thank you so much for what you did. Really great talking to you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
