Special hunt for a Special youngman

[chance]

I have just been told that I will get to guide a young man named Wes during the Tennesse Governors One Shot Turkey Hunt this upcoming year. He will be competing against country singers and athletes and big name celebrity hunters. The other hunters pay over $1,000 to hunt for the weekend. The money goes to Tn. Scholastic funds. Wes is nine years old and has spent the past five years battling Cancer. He is going thru treatment at Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital in Tn. He has requested as a WISH to compete in this years One Shot turkey hunt. Here is where it gets interesting. He wants to do it with a flintlock shotgun. I was contacted by The Deanna Glossup Cancer Foundation because they know I love flintlocks. I was wondering if some of yall could help me with making his wish come true in GRAND FASHION! I was wondering if we could hook him up with a horn, bag, neck knife, sash, fire kit, all the fixins. I dont know if it ok to ask for this on the forum. I will understand if this needs to be removed. I just thought that with all the great craftsmen on this forum we could make his wish even better than he could imagine. I can put him on birds but I would love to let him do it in full gear. I know it is a long time until he hunts it is the second weekend in April. I would love to be able to tell him about his upcoming adventure and how he will be period correct. Imagine showing up the other 85 other hunters with there modern guns. If this is something that some of yall could help me with I would truly be gratefull. Again if this request needs to be removed moderators please excuse my ignorance.
