On September 14th, Co-Founder and personal friend of over 30 years Doug Wigfield passed away after a long battle with cancer. This is no way to describe the level of contribution Doug has made to our organization. Many may not know this, but Doug was by profession a wildlife biologist and was the leader of task force that brought wild turkeys to the Eastern Shore of MD, a bird that I have hunted many times. He also was an avid Sika deer hunter and created and sold the first and wildly popular call called the "Sika Seducer". On a personal note, Doug and I have had many hunting adventures including Mule Deer in Montana, waterfowl hunting in Canada, and even crow hunting with our very own Bob Aronsohn in Texas. And I can't count the number of turkey hunts and fishing trips we have been on. My loss is profound. Rest in peace my friend, we will meet afield again.
Doug and I were very close in age, I think I was older than him?
I remember the exact location where that crow hunting photo was taken, great times.
Gordon, it's tough losing a close friend.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I got a report from him back in May that he was doing OK, but to me it did not sound like the long-term prognosis was very good. You lost a true friend and America lost a true sportsman. My thoughts and prayers are with you and his family.
