Soldiers Wish Elk Hunt

Bella Vista, AR

On Oct. 6, 2016, at a Soldiers Wish fundraiser in Tulsa, Okla., I bid on and won a 5-day elk hunt with a guide and lodging in northern Colorado. I couldn't go in 2016 because of scheduling conflicts but I did go in October 2017. I have hunted elk many times having lived in Wyoming for a number of years, but this was the most fabulous elk hunt I've ever been on. On the third day of the hunt I was able to bag a six-point bull. The "Cigar Dinner" put on by Resources One in Tulsa was a first-class fundraiser and it generated a lot of money for "Soldiers Wish." What I spent on the bid was well worth it. I had a great time hunting and a large portion of the bid went to Soldiers Wish.
