What an incredible time out here turkey hunting in Virginia. I have learned a ton about turkey hunting. The Host and Guides were incredible. I never expected to run into a bear while turkey hunting. Thank you WWIA for this awesome hunt opportunity.

This was an amazing trip. Everything was top notch. Everyone had opportunities at turkeys. The fishing was outstanding. We caught literally 100 trout and at least 50 bass, You will not go hungry at this event. All the food was homemade and delicious. The local guides were truly awesome outdoorsmen. The Host, Dan and the guys welcomed us and treated us like family. I came here as a stranger and am leaving as close friends with everyone. As always, the camaraderie was the most important. I came her with a lot of stress, I am leaving calm and refreshed.

It has been one of the greatest retreats I have been to. They all have been great with me and treated me like family. I appreciate what you guys do for us veterans. We need more people like Dan, Sue and Allen that volunteered, who appreciate our service for this country. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for three days that I will never forget. I wasn’t able to get a bird, but I caught the biggest fish in the pond.

This event was one of many first for me, first time turkey hunting, first time woodturning, first time fishing and caught a Northern Pike and ate it. This event was an awesome experience. Our Host was awesome. I am truly grateful for WWIA offering me this experience. Thank you to everyone who made this happen.

Thank you so very much for the opportunity to participate in this event. Being able t be around some great veterans and Hosts has been so wonderful and healing in many ways. The ability to put the daily things behind me and spend time away in the woods provides such a healing of the mind that many do not understand. This is so special and humbling to experience and helps me in my healing by freeing my mind. To be treated with this hunt I am so appreciative. To harvest a turkey was a plus. Many thanks and appreciation.

This is a weekend that I have needed for a long while. Daily life can become stressful and long without knowing what the next will be like. Most people in day-to-day life only care for themselves and tend to stay like that. So, it is not everyday that you get to come to a place like DoubleCreek with kind and caring people that want to make you a better version of yourself. Dennis and Shelley are those people. The weekend was amazing, and their kindness, caring and hard work was above and beyond what I have seen from other people. Thank you so much for a wonderful time.
