Event Name: SC Couples Turkey Hunt

This was an amazing hunt with several first occasions. This was my first turkey hunt, my first bird, the first game I’ve taken since 2007, and the first time my wife and I had gotten to spend any time away from the kids. I had been on a WWIA hunt in 2015 without taking any game but was still successful! This hunt was a lot of fun and my Guide, Tim was exceptional with his wealth of knowledge on the game and his ability to bring the birds in. Brian and Elizabeth were amazing hosts, making us feel like family as soon as we arrived. I will consider these folks as family and friends for years to come. I am grateful to everyone here and to WWIA for letting my wife and I enjoy this trip.
