2022 Turkey Camp

Flat Branch Hunt Club North Carolina

About the event The 2022 GEO Turkey Camp was hosted by the prestigious Flat Branch Hunt Club in Bunnlevel, North Carolina. Guests were provided a guide and cameraman for the event along with lodging and daily meals. We would like to thank Byrd's BBQ and Noble Meats & Eatery for the awesome meals. Guests experienced the finest of North Carolina turkey hunting in landscapes varying from managed food plots, agricultural fields, and planted pine to hardwood creek bottoms. Hunting occurred from temporary ground blinds that were perfectly placed based on hours of scouting and years of hunting knowledge. While the birds did not cooperate this years we were able to get a couple of groups within close proximity of mature gobbling toms. But as fate would have it we were unable to seal the deal. Even though no turkeys were harvested all participants enjoyed much needed relaxation and have formed…

Kerr Lake Striper/Catfish

June 3rd- 4th, 2022   This event consisted of Drew Blake taking Chad Hooks and Billy Judson on an overnight striper fishing trip.  The trip started with the crew launching the 21' Sea Hunt BX21 from Ivy Hill Boat Ramp and finding a place to camp along the shore of Mill Creek.  Once camp was setup the crew set out to try some nighttime catfish jugging but was unsuccessful.  The crew jugged until 12 or 1:00 in the morning then decided to call it a night; however, morning came in only 3 short hours as they were up catching shad around 4:00am.  To catch bait the crew drifted the boat just offshore in around 30 foot of water and deployed spotlights over the side of the boat.  Within a hour bait fish could easily be seen swimming alongside the boat and with a few quick throws of his 8 foot…

Trophy Bull Drum Fishing Trip

This event featured GEO’s Adaptive Recreation Coordinator, Chad Hooks, GEO’s Fundraising Director, Michael Fussell, and GEO’s President, Drew Blake, targeting Spanish mackerel off the beach of Emerald Isle, North Carolina. The original idea for this trip was to target trophy drum with Captain Austin Goodwin in the Cedar Island area, but the weather had other plans Friday night. Saturday morning the group launched their boat from Osprey Oaks Marina on Highway 24 in Newport. They started the morning with a 12 mile run to the mouth of Bogue Inlet. Those of you that know Bogue Inlet know that it can be a bit sporty when the wind and tide are bucking each other. And this morning it was. Our crew went out the inlet and settled the boat down around the bell buoy to get a read on the seas. Once everyone was settled in, they made their way to…

Archery Deer Hunt

2022 Archery Deer Hunt The 2022 GEO Archery Deer Hunt occurred across several properties that are spread throughout Alamance, Person, and Orange counties in central North Carolina.  Due to funding issues our event participants were heavily reduced to allow funds to be reallocated for the October rifle camp.  Josh Tabor was flown in from Rutland, Vermont to try his luck at an early season whitetail buck.  Josh hunted exclusively with Drew Blake over 3 days and shared time bonding with Drew and his family.  Meals were prepared by Drew's wife, Sarah, and consisted of venison pasta, breakfast quesadillas, and fried catfish with traditional southern sides.  This was Josh's first experience with catfish which he seemed to enjoy.  Josh and Drew hunted in areas known to produce monster North Carolina whitetail bucks with trail camera photos leading up to the event proving just that.  The pair hunted out of preset Barronett…
