Event Name: NH Bear and Bass

Thank you, WWIA for an awesome event. This is my first event with this group and I was blown away by the crew. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted. The people on this trip that were our hosts were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. We hunted animals, told jokes, made friends, and dined like kings. This trip was special to me because I got to hunt and hang out with someone who is important in my life, Ranger Kiel. I served with Ranger Kiel and he treated me like a son. We had always talked about hunting together. It took us since 2009, but it finally happened thanks to WWIA. I want to thank Roy and the other locals, Carl, John, John and everyone else who hosted us. Amazing country, friendly people and beautiful state. I want to thank Allen for being our guide. Allen is good people. He is great to talk to and provided friendship, conversation, and expert bear hunting tips. Many more thanks. I would return again even just to visit.
