Hunt of a Lifetime

After going on The Great Muzzle Loader Hunt of 2009 in Miami, Oklahoma, where I was treated like a king by the City of Miami and met Jack Dalrymple and so many nice people in their great community. The Great Muzzle Loader Hunt of 2009 started off with a banquet at the Buffalo Run Casino and lots of gifts, more than I ever expected. The hunting was slow the first morning as I saw a glimpse of two bucks running as fast as they could as one of the hunters missed his shot and the bucks ran past them at 300 hundred yards. The evening hunt was much more interesting as a nice 10 point buck chased a doe up not 40 yards from my stand that they had built for us PVA hunters to hunt from. I took aim, pulled the trigger and the big buck fell, man was I happy to get him. Several other hunters shot does, I guess I was just lucky to shoot this nice buck. The next day I shot a nice doe and my hunt was done. So the next morning I slept in at the Microtel motel that our hosts had provided for us hunters.

Thank you so much to all the people who made this hunt possible, you were all so nice. May God bless you all.

After the Great Muzzle Loader Hunt of 2009, there were tickets that were being sold for an Elk hunt in Gracemount, Oklahoma. I sold and bought the most tickets for the Elk hunt which provided me the opportunity to go on "The Hunt of a Lifetime". I went to Headhunters Exotics with Shawn Winchester near Gracemount, Oklahoma. I met Shawn and Corey at his ranch. We went hunting and saw several bull elks. We made a stalk on a 7 x7 bull elk where Shawn made a couple cow calls and the bulls started our way. As the bull came closer, we setup the shooting sticks and waited as the big bull was looking for the cow. Shawn had the big bull coming our way but all I could see was this big rack coming toward me. I was so excited when I saw this bull peek his head over the ridge. He was now about 100 yards away and looking straight at us. Shawn said "shoot or we could be in for a couple days of chasing elk". So I pulled the trigger and killed my first bull elk ever. I was surprised at the size of him. And as we approached him, there was no ground shrinkage... He was gigantic. We took some pictures and the hard work started by getting this big bull out of the hunting area. He was so big it was all I could do to hold the horns up on this brute.

Thank you ever so much for making one off my dreams come true MAPVA. This is the best organization I have ever seen and am proud to be a part of it. Thank you and May god bless you all.
