“Is this Dana Carter?” I asked. When he confirmed his identity, I informed him that he had just won a guided rabbit hunt. You could hear the excitement on the other end as he asked the where and when of the hunt.
Dana’s name was drawn from among a number of people who purchased raffle tickets at the Mid-Georgia Beagle Club booth during GON’s Outdoor Blast last August in Macon.
