This organization is part of the NWTF and it's primary mission is to get disabled hunters in the field. Although I am not a turkey hunter I am a member of the NWTF and help out in all their fund raisers. This year we have three disabled hunter we will be taking out on opening day for dove. One lady in a wheel chair, one guy in a wheel chair and a guy with only one arm. If your a turkey hunter and belong to the NWTF your chapter should look into this program.
Yep they are a pretty big organization. Kudos to their Wheeling Sportsman Events :congrats:

The lady in the wheelchair is using a28ga and got her limit (10) I was using a 20ga and got my limit also. The guy in the middle is the coordinator of the event. Wheeling Sportsman in coordination with our local NWTF supplied the transportation, ammo and shotguns(if needed) plus fed us breakfast and lunch. We set up right on the border you can see the "border fence" behind us. The leaning railroad tie is the corner and if you look closely over the ladies right should you can see another "leaning" T-Post. The mountains in the background are in Mexico.
Steve, is a good friend and is my calling buddy. Whenever we go out he takes is ATV and will not let me walk, drops me off at the calling location, drives back to a spot to hide the ATV and then walks back to the calling stand. When the stand is done he walks back to the vehicle and then drives back to our location. Without his help I doubt that I would get much calling in.
Very nice for everyone involved.:congrats:
I thought I saw a Chicano peeking over for a sec but it was nothing.
Nice pile of Doves
Just curious, but do you only shoot the ones coming in from the border, or all of them?
Seriously it sounds like a great thing you guys are doing! I'm sure it's rewarding. :highclap:
Way to go Mr. JohnP. :congrats:
