AIKEN, S.C. – A two-day hunt at the Savannah River Site (SRS) created a lifetime of memories for 15 disabled hunters and their escorts during the SRS Ultimate Turkey Hunt.
Made possible through the collaboration of the U.S Forest Service, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS), the National Wild Turkey Federation and the Outdoor Dream Foundation (ODF), this annual event provides a unique turkey hunting experience for disabled hunters from across the country. Participants and their escorts are given access to the Site’s pristine woodlands spanning 90,000 acres.

It’s rewarding to see how this event creates lasting memories and brings people together through their shared love of the outdoors.”…
