Well, the time has come for us to announce the winner of our Pay it Forward turkey hunt giveaway. Let me start by saying never, in our wildest dreams, did we expect this to be so difficult. We had some amazing nominations and stories come in. Each one of them touched us, and were deserving of this hunt. So a big thank you to all who wrote in! Having said that, there was one story in particular that moved us greatly, and to say it was heart breaking would be an understatement. A story came in about a gentleman named Dale Mozena (goes by badger here on TOO) and the loss he recently had in his life. The loss he suffered was his hunting, fishing and trapping partner, his best friend and someone who brought tons of joy to his life...he lost his 17yr old son, Zach Mozena. All of us here at FAFD are very excited to have Dale and his wife Joie out for an incredible weekend of turkey hunting as we try to get Dale on his very first turkey with a bow. So, lets all hook and pray, and believe for an amazing hunt with this family and that Dale shoots the biggest bird he has ever seen! We also want to say a big thank you to Steve Irwin (goes by Huckleberry Finn here on TOO), who wrote in the nomination for Dale and his wife. Because Steve took the time to Pay it Forward he will be receiving a certificate for a free pair of boots, of his choice, from Rocky Boots, congrats Steve. We also want to thank Rocky for their generous donation towards this event and this forum for allowing us to post the information and the contest here. Thanks Joe and Jesse!
