QDMA Savannah River Branch REACH Banquet
Posted by lowcountryhunting on February 11, 2008
I apologize for not posting anything since Thursday, but it has been a busy last few days.
My mom arrived Friday morning for a visit, and we had great time with her until she left yesterday. Also, along with a couple of our QDMA Salkehatchie Branch board members, I attended the Savannah River Branch’s REACH banquet Thursday night at the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum in Pooler.
Everyone had a great time talking about deer management, eating wonderful food and enjoying the raffles and auctions. Randy Bowden is pictured at the podium kicking the banquet off while QDMA founder Joe Hamilton is seen waving to the crowd when he was introduced. The other pictures show Dale the auctioneer getting everyone pumped up over all of the great items that were available while a young man and his mom show off the rifle he won in one of the big raffles.
Like I said, everyone had an amazing time, and the event raised a great deal of money for the QDMA organization as well as the local branch. That money
will be used to fund many of the educational and research programs that QDMA supports .
I encourage everyone to check out the QDMA website to find out about all of the great work the organization does!
I also wanted to let everyone know that I have not forgotten about my worst hog hunting story. That is coming this week along with some great new quail hunting pictures. And I just put out the trailcam again, so I will have some of those ready by next Monday!

I am going to be attending my first REACH banquet this coming April and I’m looking forward to it. I’m a little nervous as well to be quite honest.
I just joined the organization and I have to say that I still have some reservations but I’m giving them a chance. A couple of the guys from our local chapter convinced me to join and I took their advice and I’m trying to digest what the program is all about.
I wish our snow would melt a little and that it would warm just a touch so I could get my trailcam back out. It eats the batteries something fierce when it is as cold as it has been.
Looking forward to the hog hunting story as well.

I am going to have to look into this organization. I have heard a lot about them, but haven’t really looked into joining myself. Looks like you had a busy, but exciting week!

Looks like a good event, especially for the kid who won the rifle! Looking forward to the hog story.
