This upcoming hunt will take place near Mountain City\, Tennessee and will be proudly hosted by Appalachian Custom Calls\, a company known for its dedication to the tradition and craftsmanship of turkey hunting. \nMountain City is a small Appalachian town surrounded by some of the most beautiful and rugged land in the region. Located in the northeastern corner of Tennessee near the borders of North Carolina and Virginia\, the area is defined by steep ridgelines\, hardwood forests\, quiet hollows\, and winding mountain streams. Towering stands of oak\, hickory\, and poplar blanket the mountainsides\, creating ideal habitat for Eastern wild turkeys. In the spring\, the forest wakes up with fresh green growth and the unmistakable sound of gobblers echoing from ridge to ridge at daybreak. \nThis hunt offers participants a chance to experience classic Appalachian turkey hunting. Mornings will begin before sunrise as hunters listen for gobbles rolling through the mountain valleys before moving into position along hardwood ridges\, logging roads\, and natural travel corridors where gobblers roam during the spring breeding season. \nHosted by Appalachian Custom Calls\, this event is about more than just the hunt—it’s about sharing the heritage and skills of turkey hunting in the mountains. Participants will have the opportunity to hunt beautiful mountain terrain\, learn calling techniques\, and experience the excitement of working a mountain gobbler in his home country. \nWhether you’re a seasoned turkey hunter or someone looking to experience the challenge and beauty of mountain hunting for the first time\, this event promises an authentic Appalachian outdoor experience. \nCome join us in the mountains and hear the woods come alive with the sound of spring gobblers in Mountain City. \nPlease use the form below to sign up for this event\n\n 2026 Turkey HuntΔ\n 2026 Turkey Hunt Sign Up Form\n\n\nComplete this form to sign up for the event. \n\n\n\n Are you registering for the 2026 Turkey Hunt- Select -YesFirst NameLast NamePhoneEmailGovernment Identification Please provide your Drivers License or government ID NumberPlease provide your NC Wildlife Commission License NumberApplicant Identification InformationPlease provide your current mailing addressAddress Line 1Address Line 2CityStateZip CodeCountrySelect CountryAfghanistanAland IslandsAlbaniaAlgeriaAmerican SamoaAndorraAngolaAnguillaAntarcticaAntigua and BarbudaArgentinaArmeniaArubaAustraliaAustriaAzerbaijanBahamasBahrainBangladeshBarbadosBelarusBelgiumBelizeBeninBermudaBhutanBoliviaBonaire\, Saint Eustatius and SabaBosnia and HerzegovinaBotswanaBouvet IslandBrazilBritish Indian Ocean TerritoryBritish Virgin IslandsBruneiBulgariaBurkina FasoBurundiCabo VerdeCambodiaCameroonCanadaCayman IslandsCentral African RepublicChadChileChinaChristmas IslandCocos (Keeling) IslandsColombiaComorosCook IslandsCosta RicaCroatiaCubaCuraçaoCyprusCzech RepublicDemocratic Republic of the Congo (Kinshasa)DenmarkDjiboutiDominicaDominican RepublicEcuadorEgyptEl SalvadorEquatorial GuineaEritreaEstoniaEswatiniEthiopiaFalkland IslandsFaroe IslandsFijiFinlandFranceFrench GuianaFrench PolynesiaFrench Southern TerritoriesGabonGambiaGeorgiaGermanyGhanaGibraltarGreeceGreenlandGrenadaGuadeloupeGuamGuatemalaGuernseyGuineaGuinea-BissauGuyanaHaitiHeard Island and McDonald IslandsHondurasHong KongHungaryIcelandIndiaIndonesiaIranIraqIrelandIsle of ManIsraelItalyIvory CoastJamaicaJapanJerseyJordanKazakhstanKenyaKiribatiKosovoKuwaitKyrgyzstanLaosLatviaLebanonLesothoLiberiaLibyaLiechtensteinLithuaniaLuxembourgMacao S.A.R.\, ChinaMadagascarMalawiMalaysiaMaldivesMaliMaltaMarshall IslandsMartiniqueMauritaniaMauritiusMayotteMexicoMicronesiaMoldovaMonacoMongoliaMontenegroMontserratMoroccoMozambiqueMyanmarNamibiaNauruNepalNetherlandsNew CaledoniaNew ZealandNicaraguaNigerNigeriaNiueNorfolk IslandNorth KoreaNorth MacedoniaNorthern Mariana IslandsNorwayOmanPakistanPalauPalestinian TerritoryPanamaPapua New GuineaParaguayPeruPhilippinesPitcairnPolandPortugalPuerto RicoQatarRepublic of the Congo (Brazzaville)RomaniaRussiaRwandaRéunionSaint BarthélemySaint HelenaSaint Kitts and NevisSaint LuciaSaint Martin (Dutch part)Saint Martin (French part)Saint Pierre and MiquelonSaint Vincent and the GrenadinesSamoaSan MarinoSao Tome and PrincipeSaudi ArabiaSenegalSerbiaSeychellesSierra LeoneSingaporeSlovakiaSloveniaSolomon IslandsSomaliaSouth AfricaSouth Georgia/Sandwich IslandsSouth KoreaSouth SudanSpainSri LankaSudanSurinameSvalbard and Jan MayenSwedenSwitzerlandSyriaTaiwanTajikistanTanzaniaThailandTimor-LesteTogoTokelauTongaTrinidad and TobagoTunisiaTurkmenistanTurks and Caicos IslandsTuvaluTürkiyeUgandaUkraineUnited Arab EmiratesUnited Kingdom (UK)United States (US)United States (US) Minor Outlying IslandsUnited States (US) Virgin IslandsUruguayUzbekistanVanuatuVaticanVenezuelaVietnamWallis and FutunaWestern SaharaYemenZambiaZimbabweWhat is your birthday?Please identify your racePlease choose your gender- Select -MaleFemalePrefer Not to AnswerWhat size shirt do you wear- Select -SmallMediumLargeExtra Large2XL3XLPlease choose your age group- Select -Prefer Not to Answer0-910-1920-2930-3940-4950-5960-6970-79Event Attendance OptionsSome description about this sectionHave you attended a GEO event in the past- Select -YesNoPlease Select All That ApplyBlind/Visually ImpairedActive Duty/VeteranFirst ResponderChildren of the FallenVolunteerGuideGEO StaffHave you harvested a turkey before?- Select -YesNoBlind & Visually Impaired QuestionsThis section contains questions so that we can serve you better.

Hunters utilize marsh and stake blinds from Cedar Island to Ocracoke to target redheads\, often alongside bluebills\, bufflehead\, and pintails\, numerous guides call this water home; however\, all the water is for public use.  Cedar Island National Wildlife Refuge and the area surrounding it offer a unique waterfowl hunting opportunity.  The area is know as “Down East” and has its own style of life. \nDown East refers to the rural waterfront towns east of Beaufort\, beginning at the North River Bridge. These towns include Bettie\, Otway\, Straits\, Harkers Island\, Gloucester\, Marshallberg\, Smyrna\, Williston\, Davis\, Stacy\, Masontown\, Sea Level\, Atlantic\, and Cedar Island. The name\, Down East\, originates from a nautical term\, referring to sailing downwind and east from Beaufort to navigate around Cape Lookout. The area is famous for its unique “Hoi Toider” (High Tider) accent\, a remnant of Elizabethan English.  Known for its rich maritime heritage\, including boat building and decoy carving\, the area offers a slow-paced lifestyle\, expansive salt marshes\, and access to Cape Lookout National Seashore. The area offers many activities and attractions from historic towns and fishing villages to wooden ship building and the modern yacht and offshore sport fishing boat companies. \nThe Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center and the Cape Lookout National Seashore Headquarters both call Down East home\, along with the Cedar Island Ferry terminal\, which is known as the gateway to Ocracoke Island. \n \n  \n  \n  URL:https://guidingeyesoutdoors.org/event/1505/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251208T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251208T223000 DTSTAMP:20260506T044248 CREATED:20251213T141658Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251213T141658Z UID:1485-1765177200-1765233000@guidingeyesoutdoors.org SUMMARY:Swan Hunt 2025 DESCRIPTION:December 8\, 2025\nPantego\, NC\nHosted By:\n \nDrew Blake\, Brendon Brown\, and Cam Patrick finally completed a swan hunt that was 2 years in the making.  The trip started off with a five (5) hour drive to a cabin owned by Brendon’s family in Fairfield\, NC.  After a long dinner at Harris’ Steak & Seafood House\, located at 6555 NC-94\, Fairfield\, NC 27826\, the guys left and settled back in for a good nights sleep at the cabin.  The next morning came early for a hour ride to the hunt field.  Along the way the guys stopped to fill their bellies at MJ’s Country Store & Grill\, located at 6888 NC-99\, Pantego\, NC 27860.  All the guys enjoyed smoked sausage\, egg\, and cheese biscuits and friendly conversations with the store staff.  After breakfast the guys made their way to the field to meet Jason Haddock with H & H Guide Service.  After a short trailer ride to the blind the guys were able to watch Jason put out swan decoys in preparation for the hunt.  A blind had been built and used throughout the season by Jason to harvest numerous swans.  The blind was constructed out of hog slats placed in a drainage ditch and surround by wire hog panels strapped to metal T-posts and covered with pine limbs.  Cam and Drew assisted Brendon into the blind and it wasn’t long before the action began.  Brendon quickly had multiple swans within shooting range and attempted three unassisted shots hitting one swan two out of three times but the swan continued to fly away.  Perfect shots are needed to harvest a swan.  Brendon attempted these shots all by hearing the swans in flight.  Drew slid behind Brendon to assist if needed for the next group that came in.  The next group came in less then 5 minutes after the first shots and a single swan flew straight into the Brendon.  Drew told him to shoulder the gun\, Brendon locked on by hearing the whistle of the wind through the birds wings and Drew told him when to pull the trigger.  Success.  In three shots Brendon had accomplished something that no other blind person has in the entire world.  This is based on our research.  Cam and Drew took their shots at right many swans throughout the day all while Brendon joked about how he shot his in three shots.  The day ended with all three harvesting beautiful swans.

Check out our August 2025 Newsletter for the latest update on Justin’s health.  \nNow back to the hunt.  Drew had picked up a property from a patron at the Dixie Deer Classic and had visited the property a couple weeks earlier to setup a ground blind and feed site.  The group arrived at the property around 2:30pm and settled into the bog chairs in the ground blind. Shortly after they arrived Drew started talking with Justin about where the deer will come from and around what time they will come out.  This is all information that Drew was able to obtain from cellular trail cameras from Black Gate Hunting Products.  During that talk\, and while Drew was pointing to the direction that the deer would come from\, Drew noticed movement within the tree line.  Not long after a doe came out into the Apple Cracker Deer Feed.  Drew and Justin had a brief discussion\, very brief\, before Justin quickly decided that he wasn’t going to let this opportunity pass on his first deer.  He took Drew’s CVA Optima Blackpowder rifle and placed it to his shoulder and filled the ground blind up with that classic powder smoke.  After a few seconds both looked out of the blind and saw Justin’s first deer laying on the ground.  Drew made quick work of going to get the deer and dragging it back to the blind.  After that Drew and Justin decided to wait to see if another deer would come out that night.  As night fell Drew and Justin loaded up their gear and the doe and made their way to Lunsford’s Meat Shop in Oxford\, NC to get the doe processed.  Enjoy the hunt at the following YouTube link:https://youtu.be/l_N6h_XGIUU URL:https://guidingeyesoutdoors.org/event/justin-williams-deer-hunt/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250802T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250802T200000 DTSTAMP:20260506T044248 CREATED:20250804T001929Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250804T001929Z UID:1462-1754150400-1754164800@guidingeyesoutdoors.org SUMMARY:Hunters Night Out DESCRIPTION:GEO was accepted to be a vendors for Hunter’s Night Out hosted by Carolina Sportsman Outfitters.  The event was held August 2nd\, 2025 at Carolina Bait & Tackle at 7630 NC-39\, Henderson\, NC 27537.  Raffle prizes include a custom Guiding Eyes Outdoors cushion from Pur-Pro\, a Calcutta Outdoors 20LT Renegade Cooler full of goodies\, and a Kunnan Blackwater medium action spinning combo.  Ticket prices were $5/ticket\, 5 for $20 and 10 for $40.  Our drawing was on August 3rd\, 2025 through our Facebook Page.

It is located approximately 69 miles northwest of Charlotte\, 84 miles southwest of Winston-Salem\, and 90 miles northeast of Asheville and boasts breathtaking views from elevation ranges from 900 feet to 5\,964 feet. \nA total of thirty-two (32) people (Staff\, Volunteers\, and Participants) signed up to attend this event which was the largest number to sign up for any event to this point.  Ultimately sixteen (16) people wound up attending with five (5) of them being selected to hunt at the event.  The remain positions were filled by staff and our largest outpouring of volunteers that we have ever seen.  MAG Outdoors not only pulled out all the stops but they pulled out a community of people.  We cannot thank them enough for the support they have shown our organization in just the few short months that we have known each other. \nLodging was provided for guests and volunteers in tents that  were provided by GEO and consisted of a 10-ft x 12-ft canvas wall tent from The Wall Tent Shop  and a 10-ft x 12-ft Kodiak Canvas tent.  Guests for the event were provided a volunteer guide and experienced the finest of North Carolina whitetail deer hunting in temporary ground blinds carefully positioned over looking the finest feeder on the market\, the 150 pound MAG feeder. \nFriday Night Dinner\nFriday night (October 18th) started with a large camp fire meet and greet featuring spaghetti prepared by Paul Rhoades of Sizzlin Arrow. Everyone chowed down and prepared for the day ahead. \nSaturday (October 19th) \nSaturday started off with an early morning wake up call for staff (4:00am) to prepare for the day.  Participants and volunteers weren’t able to sleep much long with a wake up call of 5:00am.  Fortunately for them they woke up to a warm breakfast again prepared by Paul Rhoades.  The morning started off quickly and on a good note when veteran Dominic Bennett arrowed his first buck with volunteer Jonathon Wallace.  Action occurred for all hunt groups as Drew Blake and Terry Richardson witnessed a couple large bucks across a pasture but they disappeared before getting to them.  Aaron Rich and first responder Robby Holderfield had multiple shots at a nice 6 point but were unable to connect.  All groups were back in by 11:00 for a lunch and a well deserved rest.  The afternoon saw less action with the only action coming from Dominic and Jonathon when Dominic missed an opportunity at a large doe. \nSaturday evening featured our “Saturday Night Special” which centered around a hog that was provided by James Kiser.  This hog was slow grilled throughout the day and perfectly prepared by James and Paul. \n \nThe rest of the staff fell in to pull and chop the pork prior to the crowd arriving\, and boy was it a crowd.  James and Alison Reed of MAG Outdoors pulled out all the stops with their family in attendance providing all the fixin’s and desserts that go with a perfect southern pig pickin’.  Again\, we can’t thank them enough for their unwavering support of our organization. \nSunday (October 20th) \nOur last day started off the same as Saturday with an early wake up call that was made even more difficult following a large dinner.  Sunday morning was slow in action with Ben Pierce being the only hunter with an opportunity.  Unfortunately\, he was unable to connect with a doe.  All groups were back in by 10:00 for final interviews and goodbyes.  Following the departure of all the participants the staff and volunteers made quick work of breaking down camp and with final goodbyes our 2024 Deer Camp ended just as quickly as it started. \nClick Here to Check Out Videos From This Event\n \n  URL:https://guidingeyesoutdoors.org/event/2024-deer-camp/ LOCATION:Caldwell County CATEGORIES:Deer Camp,Hunting ORGANIZER;CN="Drew Blake":MAILTO:info@guidingeyesoutdoors.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20240830T170000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20240901T170000 DTSTAMP:20260506T044249 CREATED:20240110T013514Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241218T035358Z UID:1047-1725037200-1725210000@guidingeyesoutdoors.org SUMMARY:2024 Trophy Drum Weekend DESCRIPTION:  \n\nDates: August 30 – September 1\nLocation: Camp Don Lee\n315 Camp Don Lee Rd\, Arapahoe\, NC 28510\n$100/person Donation Required to Attend\nThank you to everyone that came out to Camp Don Lee to join our 2024 Trophy Drum Weekend! We also wanted to extend a special thank you to our volunteer boat captains and our sponsors for helping to make this event happen.  \nLabor day traffic in no way set the tone for the incredible time we had on the water and this was an adventure to remember! Camp Don Lee was the perfect venue for our unique and diverse group of participants and volunteers. Our staff overcame the occasional boat issues and adapted to deliver an awesome event. At one point\, we were down to one operational boat\, but the participants rotated through in groups and piled on the boat for a great time. While we unfortunately did not reel in any Trophy Drum\, multiple participants felt the rod bow forward and heard the drag scream as line was pulled out of the reel and likely taken by an elusive Trophy Drum.  We were however successful and concluded the event with a big blue and five (5) rays being caught. While not fishing\, participants enjoyed activities such as kayaking\, swimming\, log rolling (or attempting to) and relaxing around the beautiful campus of Camp Don Lee. Before turning in for the night\, we ended around the crackling sounds of the campfire with hopes that event would never end and we are already looking forward to next year.  \n  \nCheck Out The Event Videos Here\n \nAbout Camp Don Lee\n \nExperience the presence of God through wind and water\, story and song\, and friendships that last a lifetime. Don Lee Center has offered Christian camping experiences to all ages for more than 70 years. \nNestled on the north shore of the Neuse River near Oriental\, North Carolina\, Don Lee Camp & Retreat Center is an ideal setting to learn sailing\, explore God’s creation and grow in faith. \nDon Lee Summer Camps offer a nationally recognized program of excellence in sailing and coastal adventures centered around small group Christian living.  The primary goal of the many summer programs offered is to teach campers what it means to work as a team and help them develop their faith all while having fun participating in amazing activities. \nDon Lee Center offers ideal programs for children and youth through the Common Ground school program looking for cooperation and team building skills. Coastal Communities\, a school program that takes a closer look at the coastal and river ecosystems\, helps nurture over 6000 students each year. \nDon Lee Center also serves as a Retreat Center offering a place for groups of all sizes and backgrounds to come together and bond through fellowship during meals and activities.  We have hosted various groups ranging from families to church groups to college organizations. \nDon Lee Center seeks to nurture persons to become spiritually mature who\, motivated by God’s love\, will live and practice lifestyles of care for the common good. \nDon Lee Camp & Retreat Center is affiliated by faith with The North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church and is operated by NC United Methodist Camp and Retreat Ministries\, Inc. \n  URL:https://guidingeyesoutdoors.org/event/2024-trophy-drum-weekend/ CATEGORIES:Fishing,Saltwater Fishing END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20240712T170000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20240714T170000 DTSTAMP:20260506T044249 CREATED:20240110T021459Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241218T034404Z UID:1053-1720803600-1720976400@guidingeyesoutdoors.org SUMMARY:Kerr Lake Striper & Catfish Weekend DESCRIPTION:KERR LAKE STRIPER & CATFISH WEEKEND\nThis Event was Canceled due to low participant sign up\nDates: July 12th – 14th\nLocation: County Line Campground\nAddress: 200 County Line Park Rd\, Henderson\, NC 27537\nSign Ups Close: Midnight June 1\, 2024\nFour Open Positions for Applicants Only.  Volunteers are not needed for this event.\nA minimum $35 donation will be required following selection to attend the event. \nEvent Description: \nCome join Drew Blake and Michael Fussell for a weekend of fishing on Kerr Lake/Buggs Island Reservoir.  Buggs Island consists of nearly 50\,000 acres of surface water and 800 miles of shoreline.  Join us as we target two of the lakes well known fisheries (Striped Bass and Catfish).  Buggs Island is known to have two “schools” of stripers which is based on their original stocking locations.  One school ranges from Clarksville to the Ivy Hill area and “migrates” up the Dan River.  During spring\, these stripers can be found in the upper end of the lake and in the river above Clarksville as fish travel upstream to spawn.  The second school ranges from Eastland Creek back toward the dam and “migrates” up to Nutbush Creek.   As the summer progresses the upper school migrates down the lake and joins the lower school around Eastland Creek due to a combination of high water temperatures and low dissolved oxygen which forces striped bass to be found in the lower end of the lake (the dam to about Buoy 9 and in the mouth of Nutbush Creek).  Striped bass caught during the summer suffer high mortality rates when released (approximately 75 percent). Therefore\, both NC and VA have removed the size limit restriction during the summer months (June – September) and ask that anglers halt striper fishing when they catch their legal limit of four striped bass per day rather than continue to catch fish and cull smaller fish. \nBuggs Island is also home to the World Record Blue Catfish weighing in at a whopping 143 pounds.  Catfish can be caught throughout the lake by focusing on points next to deep channels. \nStriped bass will be targeted with Drew on a  Sea Hunt BX21 bay boat using live bait and/or deep water trolling depending on conditions at the time.  Live baiting will consist of 6-8 rods rigged with modified Carolina Rigs topped off with herring or bream fishing in depths from 10-40 feet deep.  Deep Water Trolling will consist of 4 rods fished off of Cannon downriggers and two leadcore rods fishing at depths from 25-60 feet deep. Trolling will use a variety of lure combinations but the most common ones are Alabama rigs topped with bucktails and Striper Sniper Snake worms or a three way swivel with a diving lure on the bottom and a bucktail on the top. \nCatfish will be targeted with Michael on an 18′ Lund boat using Santee Cooper Rigs\, Carolina Rigs\, float rigs and/or noodles ranging from shallow points and coves (10-15 feet deep) to deep water channel ledges (30-40 feet deep) depending on conditions.  Catfishing will utilize Chum-It chum tubes to attract fish and encourage feeding.  Attendees will be rotated through both boats during the day depending on catch rates.  Night time catfishing will occur on both boats. \nOvernight camping will occur on two  adjoining waterfront campsites at County Line Campground in our 10×12 Canvas Wall Tent from The Wall Tent Shop and a Davis Canvas Tent.  Campsites are non-electric. \n\n July 2024 - Striper & Catfish Sign Up FormΔ\n July 2024 - Kerr Lake Striper & Catfish\n\n\nComplete this form to sign up for the event. \n\n\n\n First NameLast NamePhoneEmailWhat is your birthday?Please provide your Drivers License or government ID NumberPlease provide your NC Wildlife Commission License NumberPlease provide your current mailing addressAddress Line 1Address Line 2CityStateZip CodeCountrySelect CountryAfghanistanAland IslandsAlbaniaAlgeriaAmerican SamoaAndorraAngolaAnguillaAntarcticaAntigua and BarbudaArgentinaArmeniaArubaAustraliaAustriaAzerbaijanBahamasBahrainBangladeshBarbadosBelarusBelgiumBelizeBeninBermudaBhutanBoliviaBonaire\, Saint Eustatius and SabaBosnia and HerzegovinaBotswanaBouvet IslandBrazilBritish Indian Ocean TerritoryBritish Virgin IslandsBruneiBulgariaBurkina FasoBurundiCabo VerdeCambodiaCameroonCanadaCayman IslandsCentral African RepublicChadChileChinaChristmas IslandCocos (Keeling) IslandsColombiaComorosCook IslandsCosta RicaCroatiaCubaCuraçaoCyprusCzech RepublicDemocratic Republic of the Congo (Kinshasa)DenmarkDjiboutiDominicaDominican RepublicEcuadorEgyptEl SalvadorEquatorial GuineaEritreaEstoniaEswatiniEthiopiaFalkland IslandsFaroe IslandsFijiFinlandFranceFrench GuianaFrench PolynesiaFrench Southern TerritoriesGabonGambiaGeorgiaGermanyGhanaGibraltarGreeceGreenlandGrenadaGuadeloupeGuamGuatemalaGuernseyGuineaGuinea-BissauGuyanaHaitiHeard Island and McDonald IslandsHondurasHong KongHungaryIcelandIndiaIndonesiaIranIraqIrelandIsle of ManIsraelItalyIvory CoastJamaicaJapanJerseyJordanKazakhstanKenyaKiribatiKosovoKuwaitKyrgyzstanLaosLatviaLebanonLesothoLiberiaLibyaLiechtensteinLithuaniaLuxembourgMacao S.A.R.\, ChinaMadagascarMalawiMalaysiaMaldivesMaliMaltaMarshall IslandsMartiniqueMauritaniaMauritiusMayotteMexicoMicronesiaMoldovaMonacoMongoliaMontenegroMontserratMoroccoMozambiqueMyanmarNamibiaNauruNepalNetherlandsNew CaledoniaNew ZealandNicaraguaNigerNigeriaNiueNorfolk IslandNorth KoreaNorth MacedoniaNorthern Mariana IslandsNorwayOmanPakistanPalauPalestinian TerritoryPanamaPapua New GuineaParaguayPeruPhilippinesPitcairnPolandPortugalPuerto RicoQatarRepublic of the Congo (Brazzaville)RomaniaRussiaRwandaRéunionSaint BarthélemySaint HelenaSaint Kitts and NevisSaint LuciaSaint Martin (Dutch part)Saint Martin (French part)Saint Pierre and MiquelonSaint Vincent and the GrenadinesSamoaSan MarinoSao Tome and PrincipeSaudi ArabiaSenegalSerbiaSeychellesSierra LeoneSingaporeSlovakiaSloveniaSolomon IslandsSomaliaSouth AfricaSouth Georgia/Sandwich IslandsSouth KoreaSouth SudanSpainSri LankaSudanSurinameSvalbard and Jan MayenSwedenSwitzerlandSyriaTaiwanTajikistanTanzaniaThailandTimor-LesteTogoTokelauTongaTrinidad and TobagoTunisiaTurkmenistanTurks and Caicos IslandsTuvaluTürkiyeUgandaUkraineUnited Arab EmiratesUnited Kingdom (UK)United States (US)United States (US) Minor Outlying IslandsUnited States (US) Virgin IslandsUruguayUzbekistanVanuatuVaticanVenezuelaVietnamWallis and FutunaWestern SaharaYemenZambiaZimbabwePlease identify your racePlease choose your gender- Select -MaleFemalePlease choose your age group- Select -0-910-1920-2930-3940-4950-5960-6970-79Please Indicate Your Shirt SizeAdult MediumAdult LargeAdult Extra LargeAdult 2XLHave you attended a GEO event in the pastYesNoSelect Your Event Role- Select -Blind/Visually ImpairedVeteranFirst ResponderFlat Branch Club MemberVolunteerGEO StaffAre you Blind or visually impaired and wanting to fish in this event- Select -YesNoAre you a Military Veteran and wanting to fish in this event- Select -YesNoAre you a First Responder and wanting to fish in this event- Select -YesNoAre you volunteering for this event- Select -YesNoAre you a staff member of GEO- Select -YesNoBlind & Visually Impaired QuestionsThis section contains questions so that we can serve you better.

Brian and Monaca quickly joined in and helped setup the Disc-o-Bed Cot Bunk beds while Drew and Cam cooked dinner and setup things for the next day.  As the sunset\, Cam and Drew launched the Sea Hunt BX21 Bay Boat from the boat ramp and tied it up along the shore of the campsite.  Drew then loaded the boat down for the next morning with ten (10) fishing rods\, 6 for trolling for stripers and 4 for catfishing\, along with fifteen (15) catfish noodles\, cannon downriggers\, and two (2) Icey-Tek coolers full of ice\, drinks and snacks.  The rest of the night consisted of Drew and Cam preparing trolling rigs and strategizing the plan for the next day while Monaca and Brian enjoyed some long awaited friend time by the campfire. \nSaturday morning came early as the crew departed camp not long after sunrise and soon began targeting stripers.  Drew and Cam threw every trick in the book at the fish in an attempt to make a striper bite the hook.  Drew made the decision to switch up species after 5 hours of no action covering miles and miles of the lake.  Cam began baiting noodles while Drew navigated the boat to a cove that consistently produces high numbers of catfish.  Drew utilized the Lowrance Elite 12Ti to locate the perfect underwater ledges and channels and told Cam to toss the noodles.  The first fish bit before all the noodles were set and from then on it was immediate and constant action for 30-45 minutes.  The crew boated five (5) catfish that were the perfect eating size.  The crew decided to call it a day after nearly 9 hours on the boat.  Back at camp\, Cam cooked steaks over an open fire while Drew deep fried hushpuppies along with the freshly caught catfish.  Everyone enjoyed the meal with Brian eating his first fried catfish. \nSunday morning the crew had a short time to fish before Brian had to make his flight out of RDU back to Chicago.  They set out early and decided to skip the stripers and target catfish.  The morning started off interesting with a huge snapping turtle taking the bait.  Catching turtles is bad luck when fishing so Drew made the decision to change location.  The noodles were redeployed and it wasn’t long Brian boated a 4 pound

Due to this\, North Carolina consistently harvests the most tundra swans in the United States though those numbers are limited due to the approximately 5\,000 permits that are issued each year. Each fall\, approximately 75\,000-100\,000 tundra swans migrate to northeastern North Carolina to take advantage of the abundant food sources following the fall harvest season.   \n\nH & H Guide Service hosts swan hunts in the Pantego\, NC area and features a 100% harvest rate for the last 18 years.  Hunting can most likely occurs in harvest crop fields utilizing drainage ditches and and field blinds to hide the hunters.  Look them up on Facebook \nCarolina All Out is a regional TV series hosted by Chris Douglas.  Chris spent 16 years of his career traveling across the world pursing game with the camera for numerous national TV series and networks. Understanding that he would be promoting a lifestyle encompassing all things outdoors\, he wanted to create a brand that was simple but cool\, something thought provoking but that also represented the pursuits of the regional sportsman. Chris has videoed and produced outdoor shows for some of the top names in the industry in some of the most remote places on earth.

Form\n\n\nThe 2024 Duck Camp will be based of Swansboro\, NC from January 12th-20th\, 2024.  Hunters will experience a wide range of coastal NC hunting from the quietness of the White Oak River to the shallowest of sounds (Bogue & Core Sounds) to the broadest of rivers (Neuse and Tar-Pam Rivers).  Each days weather and the movement of birds will determine the optimal hunt location each day.  With a combined 30+ years of duck hunting experience guides Michael Fussell and Drew Blake\, our hunters are in for a good time on the water.  Hunts will be out of Michael's Lund 1860 side console boat equipped with a custom duck blind and the much needed camp stove for warm meals.  Hunting out of boat will give our hunt groups the mobility needed to chase birds from the coastal marsh grass to the open water.  Early mornings are a sure thing as we may leave the confines of Carteret County and make the 2 hour ride to the Hyde County area.  Bring your cold weather gear\, ski googles\, and waterproof clothes and get ready from some good ole fashion "Down East" duck hunting.  Click here for a look back on last years hunt. \n  \n\nPlease complete the form below to claim your

After calling everywhere possible\, Michael decided to load up his brothers kayak and attempt to make the best of the situation. \nDay 2 of the trip consisted of Daniel and Drew doing some unsuccessful scouting and resting prior to the arrival of Michael with fresh intel. After an uneventful afternoon hunt of watching birds land on the other side of the bay Drew and Michael decided to shift things up. That night all three spent a considerable amount of time camouflaging their kayaks in anticipation of the next days hunt. \nDay 3 and Michael’s intel paid off big time.  Due to the lack of a boat they decided to sleep in and let the sun come up before venturing out into the unknown on kayaks.  After a one mile paddle across a bay they setup with birds diving into a cove and neighboring hunters screaming as they just filled their limit.  Michael and Drew hustled to get the decoys out\, a mixture of bluebills\, redheads\, pintails\, puddle ducks and geese were flung out into the water while Daniel waited in anticipation.  10 minutes later the sound of gun fire rang out and Daniel had his first duck\, a stud drake bluebill.  And just as quickly as it began it had ended with Drew and Michael getting in on the action and a three man limit was filled in under 30 minutes.  The afternoon was filled with laughter and drinks in celebration of the feat that had just been accomplished.  To quote the locals “you boys went where in those and did what.”  Yeah we did and we came back with a strap full of ducks while the locals were left scratching their heads. \n  \n  URL:https://guidingeyesoutdoors.org/event/january-2023-duck-hunt/ CATEGORIES:Hunting,Waterfowl Hunting END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230416T080000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230419T170000 DTSTAMP:20260506T044249 CREATED:20230608T074012Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230608T074104Z UID:925-1681632000-1681923600@guidingeyesoutdoors.org SUMMARY:2023 Turkey Camp DESCRIPTION: URL:https://guidingeyesoutdoors.org/event/2023-turkey-camp/ CATEGORIES:Hunting,Turkey Camp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230303T110000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230305T170000 DTSTAMP:20260506T044249 CREATED:20221206T064526Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221206T075854Z UID:733-1677841200-1678035600@guidingeyesoutdoors.org SUMMARY:Dixie Deer Classic DESCRIPTION:Guiding Eyes Outdoors\, Inc. will be at the 2023 Dixie Deer Classic in Raleigh\, North\nCarolina.\nMarch 3-March 5\, 2023\n11:00AM to 9:00PM Friday\, 9:00 AM until 7:00 PM on Saturday\, 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM on Sunday \nWe Will Be Located At Booth 1-B32\n\nWe are seeking booth sponsors for the event\nDixie Deer Classic Booth Sponsorship Levels Coming Soon\nFor More Information on Sponsoring our booth please Contact Us\nWe will have Prizes\, Raffles\, Freebies\, and More\nAnd as always you will receive a Pur-Pro Flat Cushion for your $25 donation to our organization.\nDonate Here and for your Pur-Pro Cushion Today\n\n  URL:https://guidingeyesoutdoors.org/event/dixie-deer-classic/ LOCATION:NC State Fairgrounds\, 1025 Blue Ridge Road\, Raleigh\,\, NC\, 27607\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="Drew Blake":MAILTO:info@guidingeyesoutdoors.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230204T063000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230204T180000 DTSTAMP:20260506T044249 CREATED:20230201T092409Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230224T085325Z UID:747-1675492200-1675533600@guidingeyesoutdoors.org SUMMARY:2023 Rabbit Hunt DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n \nFirst Annual Rabbit Hunt\nFebruary 4th\, 2023\nFlat Branch Hunt Club\n  URL:https://guidingeyesoutdoors.org/event/2023-rabbit-hunt/ LOCATION:Flat Branch Hunt Club\, North Carolina ORGANIZER;CN="Drew Blake":MAILTO:info@guidingeyesoutdoors.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20221217T180000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20221217T210000 DTSTAMP:20260506T044249 CREATED:20221207T060551Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221207T060551Z UID:743-1671300000-1671310800@guidingeyesoutdoors.org SUMMARY:Christmas Without Lights – Mystery Night DESCRIPTION:Christmas Without Lights Mystery Night will be held on December 17\, 2022 at the Royal Banquet & Conference Center at 3801 Hillsborough Street Ste #109 Raleigh\, NC 27607.
