CouesWhitetail Report post Posted April 7, 2018 Many of you know Mark Boulanger and for those that don't here is a little info about him. Mark (aka, "Bo") has been a firefighter for the last 28 years, both in his community and serving on wildland fire crews. He is an avid hunter, fisherman and donates his time to programs like Wounded Warrier and Make-a-wish foundation. Unfortunately, for the last year and a half, Bo's condition had been misdiagnosed and treated as if it were Valley fever or pnuemonia. But a recent biopsy shows Stage 4 lung cancer, which is a terrible disease to fight. Brandon McDermott set up a Gofundme page for Bo and asked me to post the link here. If you would like to help Bo and his family as they battle this disease, here is the link: https://www.gofundme.com/markbo 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mocha1545 Report post Posted April 8, 2018 What a horrible thing to happen to a great guy! I’ve known him since high school and he is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. And one heck of a hunter. I’ll be contributing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chef Report post Posted April 8, 2018 One of the best hunters I have ever met. Boulanger sets the standard to strive for in being a genuine, generous, humble human being. Its terrible news to hear what he has been fighting. I will contribute for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heat Report post Posted April 9, 2018 I am very sad to hear this. Met Mark up on the Kaibab during our Bison hunts. He's a good guy. EDIT: Turns out I met a different firefighter named Mark on the Kaibab, not this Mark. Nonetheless this is very sad. Tremendous loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
