Hunting Forum

ctrees would you take this and put it on the miscellaneous .There will be more people see it .Take it over there .And put it in the lifemembers section as well .

How did you come about being on this BB ? You will need to put forth as much info about yourself as possible and then there is the need to show this is a legitimate request for this family.

Thanks Holly. Will do. Big dog, I am a member of NAHC, i am also the one putting the fundraiser together. I have met many amazing people on this site as well as SNA and I can assure you that it is legitimate, I do understand your hesitance though. We are in the process of starting a donation account at two banks but they will have to be in Phil's name and he is extremely busy right now as you can imagine. I would be happy to post that info as soon as I have it nailed down. As for about me, I went to school with this family, my graduating class was under 100. In a small town like this where everybody knows everybody we jump in to help in any way we can. I don't know what proof i can put on here that couldn't be fabricated, you would just have to know me to know i do stuff like this all the time.

I really feel sorry about little Hunter's situation; but when the Make-A-Wish organization stopped honoring requests for hunting, fishing, and gun related activities, then my support for them, also stopped.

BTW, I also met some good folks on the SNA site, but it's too bad that SNA is such a screwed up outfit, myself and many others quit that site because of their lousy customer service and total lack of interest in the members issues. At least the NAHC will send you an e-mail acknowledging receipt of a complaint, even though they may not do anything else. SNA won't even go that far!!!!!!!!!!!

Only 28 posts.How long have you been a member?

I think she's a relatively new member. She arrowed one h*77 of a muley for her first with the bow not long ago.

Your efforts are commendable ctrees. There are 3 NFL games on turkey day. Which one/s are the pools on? How would I pick my square? Send something like 3 down 6 right or something to designate the square? Anyway to get you the $ electronically via PayPal or something?  I think a little more info is needed.

OK, Rthomas4, I agree about two things you said. The make a wish foundation should offer every "wish" and the SNA site is messed up. BUT I still support both because of the people involved. Be it the kids with cancer who did nothing wrong and the amazing friends that I have made on SNA. That said not a nickle of this money goes to Make A Wish. Every penny goes directly to the family.
PVGILETTI. Yes only 28 posts, I have been a member for several months but am not a very vocal one :-) For some reason when a girl joins sites like this there are people out there that think she must be a single girl.... and while I don't cry sexual harrasment there is only so many times a girl can hear "Nice Rack" before it gets old. I am happily married, have 3 of the most amazing kids you have ever seen, and am one that thinks before she speaks.
I was nominated as the State Of Wyoming Woman of The Year 2012, which I honestly hope I don't recieve. So far this year I have raised over $10.000 for charities that I believe in. Last year I had a baby and took it off, the year before one of my daycare kids was hurt in a motercycle accident and I made enough to pay for life flight, $14,000. The reason I would like to help people is not because of the recognition I will recieve. It is because I have been there. And because I was raised by parents that tought me not to sit by and say "I wish there was something I coud do". There's always something you can do. Be it big or small. to the person recieving it it could mean the world.
Steve... Thanks! For the comments on my deer and the backup. Hunters cousin's first grade class are going to draw the numbers for the board. We haven't decided which game to play on, I am honestly hoping to play on all three.
I have an offer. If we can sell 100 squares on this website, I will drop the price to $10/square, the 1st grade will still pick the 0-9 across the top and down the side. Steve picks the game. I will post a copy of the board on here. I will personally cover the paypal cost for every $10. The board will be decided by the last digit of the final score of both teams. The Hansen family will recieve $750 the winner on here will get $250 payed by myself, in the form of a personal check or money order. Whichever they choose.
Elk opens here tomorrow so I wont be around but will check early Wed. Thanks All!

You're most welcome ctrees. I think you're a stand up young Lady with a good heart and wanting to do something to help. Very commendable, IMO.  I've seen alot of cancer, it ain't pretty and anything that makes the people who have it happier is well worth it!

I'm retired now and can't contribute what I once was able, but I still try, and I want to know where it goes. I donated a bunch to the hurricane disaster that I suspect ended up in some bigwigs pocket 'cause it didn't end up where it was supposed to... but I'll get off that soapbox.

Guys, this seems like a good cause to me. Last year we got hosed (IMO) by a guy who wanted a new rifle and we bit on that. At least this one I know is real.

If the thing here takes off - put me down for 5 squares. If not, put me down for 2 on your $25/square board. I'll mail you a check for fifty and put it to whichever way pans out. No sense of you paying the PP charges. Just let me know the game/s and numbers ahead of time. You can always contact me at: smcalvin@verizon.net

Let me know your snail mail (via email) and I'll get a check out to you.

Which game? I guess it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things does it? ;-) Take your pick either way.

I totally commend female hunters! What a great story ctrees! My wife and myself do a lot of fund raising for our high school marching band and numerous charities through motorcycle ralleys. Ya, I'm a Harley guy and love it! We also fund raise for our local YMCA and next year we plan to raise them a bunch of bucks that comes from years of trial and error. Count me in! And yes, this only confirms, you and your buck are trophy's!

OH and I forgot the most important part!  GOOD LUCK tomorrow! 

We have a couple of regulars on here that are ladies and are well respected as well .They are Whitetaillady and darkangle .I use my wifes name on here as that is a long story why .My name is Joe as most on here know .I will back you on here ,and so will others .

Oh by the way I am not into paypal .So neede an addy too send it to .

ctrees,
Sign me up for this too. My e-mail is: gnatsum65@hotmail.com If you wish I can send you a check, but I would need an address. I don't subsribe to PayPal either, so I need info on how to get my check to you. GOD bless you, and I hope we raise a BUNDLE for you. I'm on SS also, but this seems like something I can contribute to that will do someone some good.

Beware!!! Their is way too many iffys here...mho

https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/452762661432390/ I don't know if this will come across as a clickable link, if it doesn't you should be able to copy and paste it. If that won't work you should be able to search the "Hunter Hansen fundraiser" in events on facebook. It shows a portion of the locals that are supporting it that know everybody involved. I am sorry that there is a need to be so carefull about whom you donate to and I understand everybody's hesitance completly. I'm off to find an elk :-) Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

You should already be on stand! Sheesh.... some peoples kids... ;-) Good luck

Yep ! Seems like us everyday good folk so I say put on whatever you want and we will give you all the support we usually give when it's one of our own !!! This is just a suggestion but a firearm giveaway is alwasy a good money maker. We do a good many fundraisers ( We are currently running a Haunted House ) here for another charity group and the local gun dealers are always willing to donate a firearm that we then turn around and sell tickets for a chance to win. We also had a really generous and extremely nice gentleman give us a 60's muscle car completely restored which we sold tickets for at $100.00 a piece and it really went over well and helped raie sbaout what it takes for us to stay running for two years. Since we are a 501C charity everything is tax deductibel and it makes it much easier when we hand them a signed letter stating their donations which in turn they can use as 100% deduction on their taxes. So like I said whatever you come up with I will support it and you. It's really great to see that there are others out there willing to do what it takes to take care of our own for a change. A classic case of taking a whole village to raise a child but also to provide the best for that same child. YEEE HAAAWWW go gittem girl and be sure and keep us updated as I am not a facebook afficiando myself.

PS: My email addy is bigdawgwalls@yahoo.com where you can send me your snail mail address so I can get a donation headed your way.

Cara, I found you guys on facebook and yes, everyone, this is a ligit fundraiser. Please send me your snail mail and I will get a check out to you.
