Chris (one of the PickASpotArchery owners) and I have a unique opportunity  for the Elk hunt this year. Some friends of Chris’ drew out as a group on a great unit here in the state of Utah for Elk. One of the 4 that drew out has Lou Gherig’s disease, which which is why I say it is a unique opportunity. Unfortunatly this gentleman is not very mobile and for all you who have hunted elk before in Utah you know that being mobile is one of the most important abilities you need on the hunt. Not only is he not very mobile but he has already outlived the time that was given him to live. We have the pleasure of helping this gentleman find and bag his first bull elk before the disease takes his life.

We have decided to make it a priority to get this man an elk! We have put somewhat of a plan in place to make sure this happens. We plan to move him around with horses and maybe 4 wheelers, I will carry him if I have to! We also plan to get him over some high traffic trails and water holes in a tree stand or ground blind. I know he is willing to sit in these areas all day if he has to and I know he has made this a top priority and wants to get himself an elk more than anything.

The archery elk hunt starts August 15th and ends September 11th. From now til then I would like to report on this story and its progression to all of you readers, I believe it is a story that may help inspire each one of us to live life to its fullest!
