Hunting Forum

ctrees, if the money is sent through paypal as a gift there should be no cost to you. Let me know where to send and I`m in for a couple squares. Lost my wife to canser in 2004.

cara,
I'm late with this I know, but having some trouble here at home, just wanted you to know the check will go out in today's mail. If all the squares are gone, no big deal. I'm more Baseball than Football fan anyway. If there are squares left put me down for 5 on your $10.00 board.
Just checked the picture of your deer. Sure is a great one. Bet you and your family sure are proud.I'll never be able to afford a Muley hunt, but the Wildlife gurus have brought Elk back here to Mo., sooooooooo if I live long enough I might get to hunt one.
Congratulations and Good Luck on your project to help LUKE.

eagle, you could be correct but I didn't want to take the chance so I mailed a check. Cara posted her address back on the 16th.

OK will go back and check it out.

Thanks all!!!! I reposted this as Hunter Hansen Fundraiser. I didn't want there to be any confusion as to the prizes or which board was offered on here. I am only doing the $10 board with a cash prize for NAHC as I don't want to mess with awarding a gun over state lines. I hope everyone understands. I also posted all details in the main message so that anything pointed out on pages two or three here doesn't get missed :-)
Thanks again!

Cara, how are sales goin' on the squares?

Anyone heard from ctrees? She must be in the mountains, trying to figure out how to get her "30 point buck" home that she killed with her doubled barrelled, lazer scoped, heat seeking, doublebolt single shot shotgun...LOL. Around here this time of the year that song is played sooooo much I switch stations!!!!!!

I hear ya. The first few times it was funny... then went to cute... then went to annoying. ;-)

But to answer the question: No, haven't heard but will post if I do. No suspicions on my part, I'm sure she's just booked but will try and find out.

steve,
Yeh, I agree with you. I am behind Cara(?) 100%. I saw one of her post where she was going to be busy in the mountains hunting. I'm sure the season is fairly long and on top of that she has a "day job", also., so I was only trying to inject some humor in my post so it wouldn't seem like I was questioning her timeline.
I've been sorta off the track myself lately. My wife was supposed to come home tomorrow, but I found out today the Doctor wants her to stay 3 more days.
ctrees is going beyond the call of duty trying to help Hunter, and I Pray to God her efforts will be rewarded.

I sent her a note asking for her to check in.

I was just about to send you a note asking if she was home yet. Sadly I see that's not the case, but
if they're thinking of cutting her loose in 3 days, she's gotta be doin' much better! Congrats to you both!
A hospital is no place to be when you're sick! ;-)

THANKS steve,
I know what you mean. She got pneumonia in the hosp. They are going to deliver a hosp. bed, wheelchair, and a Porta Potty when she gets home, so maybe we can get her back on her feet. I think things are going the right way this time. She won't be able to go through a 5th operation.

Hi all!!
Sorry it's been a while, I have been busy.
I mailed back the 3 checks that I got. I really appreciate the support but it isn't looking like I would be able to fill a board. I know that you would have said to keep them but that would have done nothing for the suspicious people on here. ;-) I will keep it posted and if his dad gets a donation account set up at the bank I will share details. We are doing really well on the local boards, I am pleased with the fact that we were able to give them a bit of money while little Hunter can enjoy it.
Once again thanks for the support and prayers. It is great to know that there are people out there with the ammount of compassion that you all have shown.
Sorry this is short, I gotta run,
Cara

well that sux!

Sorry Steve, I put a lot of thought into it and that was the best I could figure.

oh no no Cara. I didn't mean what you're doing sucked just the fact that the squares weren't selling.

Cara,
I'm sorry that you feel you had to send the check back to me. I don't care what the suspicious people think or feel. If you can give the money to Hunter's dad, then do it. If you have already sent it back, I can send it directly to Hunter's family. My little dab won't be enough to do any good, but maybe they can use it for something. If I get the check back, you'll have to send me Hunter's address. Why couldn't you have used it on the "local boards"?
My e-mail for his address is: gnatsum65@hotmail.com

GUYS,and GALS,
Why does there HAVE to be a raffle, or a chance to "win something", in order for us to help this little boy? Couldn't we all just give a little, and watch it multiply. pennies make dollars!!!!! The price of one box of ammo would mean alot if everyone sent that amount. What's one trip to the firing range one way or the other?

Thanks Steve! (is it just me or do i say that a lot) ;-)
etaylor8, the mail hasn't ran yet. If you would like I will put you on a cash board, I don't have time right now to look into the legalities of doing a gun board over state lines right now. The squares on the local boards are $25, payout of $500. That said, your "little dab" will help, when everybody gives a little it adds up to a lot. We are pretty close to selling 4 boards here.
Thanks again!

I'm with you Erv. How much money was it the school bus monitor got? 750k or something like that?

My check's going back and Cara can disperse it as she sees fit. I'm confident she'll do what's best.

Edit:  Cara, if you haven't mailed my check back, don't.

Cara,
I trust you to do what you think would be the RIGHT thing for Hunter. Don't worry about the gun thing. I for one have all the guns I will ever need. As I said earlier, I don't have to win something to prompt me to help someone like Hunter. He lost his mother, and is fighting for his life now. He needs all the help and support we can give him. Don't send my check back. Just think, if you keep my check, you will save both of us the price of a stamp.....yours to send it to me, and mine to sent it back.
