What can we say....yet another Sheboygan County Conservation Association Sponsored Youth Turkey Hunt ends with success. The mentors that volunteer their time and landowners that volunteer and donate their land truly make this program a true treasure and pride of the SCCA.
We can go on about what getting the youth and new hunters out to experience Turkey hunting and nature means to us....but here is what it's really all about. Written and posted by the Mom of one of our successful hunters this year. Couldn't have expressed our passions any better! (Also....check out all those smiles and new friends made)
Not your typical mother-daughter weekend. 🦃
The SCCA Mentor Turkey Hunt 2026 in Wood County gave Harper the opportunity to harvest her very first turkey and what a bird it was. Weighing 28.63 lbs with a 10.5" beard and 1" spurs, it was an incredible moment that we will never forget.
We are beyond grateful to the Sheboygan County Conservation Association for hosting such a special event and creating opportunities like this for the youth. And to our mentors Cole Binversie, Dennis Stuckman, and Matt Kohlmann thank you for your patience, guidance, and for sharing your knowledge so generously. You made this experience what it was.
This weekend wasn’t just about the harvest. It was about early mornings, quiet moments in the woods, lessons learned, laughter shared, and friendships that were just beginning. Watching Harper stay focused, put in the effort, and fully embrace every part of the experience was amazing and made me incredibly proud.
Being there beside her learning, growing, and experiencing it all together is something I’ll carry with me forever. This is just the beginning of many more hunts and memories to come.
Truly a weekend we’ll never forget. ❤️
