It’s been a rough week for the West Alabama turkey hunting community! On Sunday we lost Mr. Fox Haas, the patriarch of & the Haas family. Very few, if any, have done more for the wild turkey over the last century than he. The following day Mr. George Shaw went to be with his Lord and Savior. Anyone that claims to be a turkey hunter from Pickens county knows of the legendary George Shaw. Only he and the Good Lord knows how many turkeys he harvested over the years, but I can assure you, he had the respect of all of the hunters that had the pleasure of knowing him. The only thing that he loved more than a wild turkey was the Lord and his family. It’s been a pleasure getting to know Mr. George the last few years and was truly an honor for all of us to go by his house on our way out of town on hunting trips so that he could pray with us over our trips before we left. Please pray for the Haas and Shaw families in the coming days as they navigate through these hard times.
