Great story and great ending. It always pays to help out your fellow hunters.

What is a PIF? At my age, I almost enjoy helping someone new get an animal as much as shooting one myself. It is rewarding, but can be a challenge hunting with a beginner. I hunted with a guy my age, named Joe. Every time he got out of the truck, he'd slam the door. By the end of the trip, he thought his name was NO Joe. He didn't harvest an elk or oryx, but had fun trying. I had helped his 17 year old daughter on an oryx hunt years before, and she harvested her first game animal. I always volunteer to help oryx hunters that get drawn for White Sands Missle range. It is a fun hunt, and we always get opportunities. One overweight guy with bad knees took so long to get settled that another hunter shot and spooked the herd before he could shoot. It happened twice, but he finally got one.

We all need to help the beginners, because today there are so few hunters that most kids don't have anyone to teach them.

So sometimes a PIF versus making couple bucks can brighten up someones life and start them down the road we all love and cherish

Improve someone's quality of life!

So I just picked up his head and doing a Euro mount for him. It will be on barn board, on Skull Hooker with photo mounted below the mount. Hopefully it will look something like one of these.

Hard to explain but I feel my hunting season is 100% success and feel like I killed a "Booner". The reward of him killing buck is emotional to some degree.

I think God Want us all to have friends like you

Very nice! He's lucky to have you as a friend.

I feel more lucky to have such a great guy that knows my limitations and makes sure I have help getting deer out. I am truly blessed to have him as a friend.
