2012 Mentor/Youth Hunt

Our 2012 Mentor/Youth hunt was another incredible success. We had approximately 20 guests and all had a great time. We harvested many Rams, Russian Hogs and a big old Carolina Hog. The youth hunters did a fantastic job on their shooting and had a really good time with the events of the evening before. 
Thank you to all of the youth hunters and to the mentors who accompanied them!

Thank you wilderness for all your help on making this Joe's Dream hunt. Only thing he wanted to do one last time before he passed away was to get back to the wilderness on one last hunt. Thank you so Much to C.J for all his help on making this a very special day. Joe went on his last hunt March 10th, 2012. Very Sad to Say Joe Passed Away during the night March 20th, 2012

Thank you So Much

I just wanted to send you guys a personal note of thanks for Tony's excellent Elk hunt on January 21, 2012.  Tony has not stopped smiling yet.

He is very grateful that you guys provided the once in a lifetime opportunity for this hunt.  He never imagined he would have gotten an Elk of this caliber and to see that it did have the "white tips" that he wanted.  I think one of the best parts for him was when we stopped at the Sheetz in Breezewood for coffee, over a dozen people came over to the truck to see what he had in the back and take pictures and congratulate him on such an amazing animal.  He was singing your praises to all that asked where.  Also the looks he got when we were going down the highway toward home.  People would race up to pass and then slow way down to see what was sticking 3 feet above the bed and cab of the truck.  It was so funny. 

The best part for me was watching him during the hunt and how excited he and Rex got when it went down.  More memorable memories.

When we dropped the animal off at the taxidermist last night, he just about fell off of his chair.  This is the biggest Elk he has ever done.  They are going to make a special pedestal for the mount.  I have a feeling this thing is going to look totally awesome when it is finished.

Thanks again and god bless to all.

Andy,
I would like to thank you for giving my son Devin the opportunity to take his first Ram at your lodge.  He had a great time and he is still talking about it, he recently went to the doctor and he had to show her all of his pictures and tell the story.  He did the same thing at school and wakes up every morning telling me he is still so excited that he got to shoot a Ram.  He took a beautiful full curl Corsican with his crossbow and The Wilderness helped make a little boy’s dream of a successful first hunt come true.  I have enclosed some pictures, take notice to his large smile.  My dad said the look on his face after he made his shot will be something he will never forget.  Being blessed with the ability to take a nice ram like this and giving him the memory to last a lifetime is truly priceless.  Our guide Kevin was wonderful and he explained to Devin that this ram lived his whole life and grew his horns just for him on that very day.  The food in the lodge was great, and as always we were treated with kindness and respect.  I pray that the Lord would continue to bless your business so guys like us can continue to afford and enjoy great hunting, great food and fellowship. 
Thanks again.
Aaron and Devin Graybill
