This hunt was successfully completed with 20 turkeys being harvested by the participants.  A great time was had by all, and Whispering Cedars Baptist Camp did a wonderful job in hosting the event.  We thank the WCBC staff and volunteers who helped make this a great hunt.

Many private land owners and farmers graciously gave permission to hunt on their property.  We appreciate this greatly.  Seth McCullough, Rodd Vande Wall and DonMiller, guides for the hunt, went early to secure this permission.  Thanks to the landowners for allowing us to hunt on your property.  It is appreciated.

Hunters and guides attended the camp from Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, and New York State.  We are hoping to present a camp in the same time frame next year.  In fact we have several who have told us to hold a spot for them!

Notify us by email if you would like to have timely information about next year's and other future events.

We wanted to show some of the pictures of the Turkey Camp 08 highlights.

One of the first birds down was that of Sean Wood.  This bird was a candidate for the Biggest Bird Down Award for a long time.  He was taken on Friday morning, weight in at 23# 6oz.  The bird had long spurs, just over 1 1/4" in length and a nice beard.  Rodd Vande Wall was the guide w ho called this bird in to the gun.

We also had many others experience success.  Doubles were possible, but not frequent.  I had the opportunity (Jack McCullough) of calling in a pair of birds for a father/son team who came all the way from New York to hunt with us.  Joseph and Daniel Gallop were able to take their first turkeys together!  What a neat memory to share and experience.  The birds were nice, mature birds.  Daniel's bird was just over 18# and Joseph's was over 21 #.
