So I got to do something really cool this last week and weekend. I got to go to Augusta Georgia and Edgefield South Carolina. It was a leadership conference for conservation and talk about R3. Recruit, Reactivate and Retain. It is scary to see the charts they put up on the decline on hunting licenses across the board. Also sport shooting. It was eye opening. We got to visit NWTF headquarters and museum. Also got to visit the new Palmetto shooting range that the NWTF just built. All and all and very fun time. Waddell and Brenda Valentine were both there for a day. No pics of them. The one I did get was really blurry. Here is a link to the prayer and pledge though. https://www.facebook.com/THENWTF/videos/10154125685632746/

Sorry for those not on Facebook. I can't find the video on Youtube. It started Thursday and ended Saturday. Had some great food. Some local oysters some cat fish. I even tried some grits. Not to bad. Live bands all 3 nights. Plenty of adult beverages were flowing. Very cool to see hunters from all over the country to come together for one cause. Not just for turkeys but for all hunting and conservation
