Elitegt500 Report post Posted August 24, 2016 Had the great pleasure of helping out on one of these hunts last year. Life time friendships and memories made. There is no reason a tag should go un-used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metau Report post Posted August 24, 2016 I am sure Dave would take any tag. He is the director of the program and can be reached at daveh @ arizonaelksociety . org. Just make sure to remove the spaces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Browns Report post Posted August 25, 2016 If you donate the tag can you get your bonus points if you didn't buy the point guard? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desertheritagetaxidermy Report post Posted August 25, 2016 big browns i was told yes but honestly i will have to ask dave holbrook as he handles all the paper work with game and fish to verify i may have it confused on points without point guard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lv2hnt Report post Posted August 25, 2016 A point of clarification --- these hunts are designated for ARIZONA vets, so your donated tags are helping heal your neighbors ... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azruger Report post Posted August 25, 2016 I have a 24a tag my son drew I would like to donate. It's the Oct. Whitetail hunt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rthrbhntng Report post Posted August 26, 2016 The AES is accepting any big game tags, does not need to only be elk. Only those tags from the last draw are eligible for Point Guard, you had to purchase the Point Guard at the time you put in. The elk draw Point Guard will be available for next year. The system was not in place for the 2016 hunts. If you purchased the Point Guard for your deer tag you will be able to get your points back if you donate your tag for Hunts for Heroes. If you are donating an elk tag you will not get your points back this year. We do accept tags at any time but the more notice we have the better so we can get help, guides and hunters lined up. So far this year we have 30+ hunts scheduled. Last year we did 37 hunts. This is by far the most rewarding program that the AES and Dave Holbrook have ever done, the letters and comments from the warriors are awesome. Please take a minute and watch the video on the program from some of last years hunters - https://youtu.be/mlJCs_eT7jM Thank you very much. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
