Warrior Hunts of Virgina updated their phone number.

This weekend marked the 6th anniversary of Warrior Hunts of Virginia.
After a long two years of not being able to do our annual Mike Crowell Sring Gobbler Hunt due to Covid we were finally able to get back on track.
We brought in 2 First Responders, Rosser Wells and Devin Hall, and 2 Veterans, Tom Quicke and Barry Bevins. Ward Burton donated the Hero House in Brunswick, Va to our cause to house everyone for the hunt. We all had close encounters and Devin Hall was able to seal the deal on a stud of a spring gobbler.
I want to say a special thank you each and everyone of you that were involved to make this an absolutely great weekend.
Our guides included Brandon Martin, Jackson Queen, Edwin Foster, Doug Atkins, Bucky Daniels, Jeramiah Fix, Barry Connell and Johnny Seamster.
Our fabulous cook crew included Bob Tanner, Chris Lucy, Clayton Connell, Brent Allen and Noah Daniels.
I want to give a special thank you to all that donated and sponsored this special event—NWTF Staunton-Meherrin Chapter, Mossy Oak Properties Land and Farms Realty, Mossy Oak Properties, South Hill Home Depot, South Hill Walmart, South Hill Foodlion, Parker Oil, Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation and Ft. Pickett.
We’re looking forward to our next event.

Getting ready for our April Spring Gobbler Hunt! It's going to be a great time. We are bringing in 5 new hunters. Some of our hunters from our last years hunt are coming for support for our new people. The community support of this has been outstanding! It's so good to see this support.

Sorry to post this almost 2 weeks later but.........
A couple months ago we had 2 of our wounded vets from San Diego CA that came to hunt with us this past spring wanted to know if they could return to hunt with us on their dime and of course we welcomed them. Kaleb's dad was able to come in and join in too. Buck Farrar let them still hunt his farm and Meherrin River Hunt Club in South Hill took them dog hunting(they had never done that) and Michael Bailey gave them some where to still hunt as well. As an added bonus Jamie Smiley and Meherrin River Hunt Club got them in on a bear hunt Monday before they left and one was able to kill a 380 lb bear! Barry and Stacey Connell hosted supper and friends Friday night, Meherrin River Hunt Club fed us Saturday night and Brian Williams and friends hosted supper Sunday night. A great time was had by ALL! Six deer and a bear were taken over 3 days.
Apparently we made an impression on them to want to return on their dime and they surely made an impression on us!
This was a community effort by all and a sincere THANK YOU to everyone.
So take time and thank a service man or woman active for their service to this GREAT COUNTRY! A simple THANK YOU goes a long way and it doesn't cost a thing.

A day to remember and a thank you to all that have served to keep our country's freedom! Happy Veterans Day!!

Happy 4th everyone! Home of the brave land of the free! Thanks to everyone that keeps this possible!

Take a minute and remember the fallen.

Please remember the reason!

Waiting one out!!!

Amazing two days of hunting with a great group of people!!!
