Bang, thanks. When I came to you and told you I wanted to make my first Turkey Hunt a complete learning experience you responded with a firm “I know what you want and we can do it”.

Boy did you “do it” and then some.

After my time at Paradise Valley Hunting Club (PVHC), I can sit with experienced turkey hunters and carry my own in the conversation. Don’t get me wrong, as you have said, a turkey hunter will learn something in each hunt.

You say we lucked out with a hunt of a life time, I say you and John Coit orchestrated the hunt so that I had to use lessons learned in the previous days. Plus it was all on film. If asked, and some that I tell without being asked, your first-timers hunt is without a doubt the way to go. Whether it is for oneself or a family member that wants to bag their first turkey or to get in to turkey hunting on the right foot they will not be disappointed at PVHC.

With regards to your camp, what can I say? You have created a home away from home for all hunters, whatever the age. You advertise you cater to families and boy did you demonstrate that to me. The food, the home feeling, that special attention one gets from you, your staff and guides is special. It amazed me how you made me feel like a special guest, all the while, I was a part of the group, a member of your group. I found myself going around turn off light switches as if as I owned the place. You can bet I will be bringing my grandsons/granddaughter there for their first hunt.

Bang, Tom, John Coit, and Dusty Springs; thank you for leading me into a new sport that seems as though it can consume you with challenge and fun. Thanks, Raymond Archer

Dear Bang and Tom,
Now that the holidays are over, I thought I'd take the time to drop you a line and say thanks again for another great hunt at Paradise Valley. The boys had a terrific time, as usual. And I can't tell you how thankful I am to have found a club that I feel comfortable in bringing my sons to. The family atmosphere is genuine and the accommodations are great. Also, the meals were a welcome addition, especially after a long day of hunting.

Matt is looking forward to picking up his mount. He sure is proud of the eight point, but I think Tom was as proud of it as he was. Marshall hopes no one got the big ten point he saw because he has plans for it next year. We all saw some nice bucks this year and we are all looking forward to hunting with you and Tom next year.

Sincerely, Mike Brooks

Bang and Tom,
First i want to thank you for another great hunt. Last season was great this season was even better. Second i will tell you that in my 40+ years of hunting lodges like yours in al, me, tx, ny, pa, ga, fl, sc, ma, nh, vt, sc and alberta canada, this is only the second thank you letter I have written to any lodge. You treat single hunters just as good as groups.

The hunter bull sessions we have on your front porch overlooking the pond are allways looked forward to, as well as trying to catch one of those bass or 15lb+catfish, my ribs still hurt from laughing at the jokes told around the card table. Your recreation hall is the best I have seen in any lodge, that I have been at. I can't wait till next deer season to pick up my 10 point buck mount so i am going to schedule a turkey hunt with you this spring. Tell that contractor that I beat playing pool that i'll give him a chance on your ping pong table, ha-ha.
Thank's Again, john lench

Dear Bang and Tom,
Thank you very much for successful hunt in November. The effort you both make to put us on deer and make us feel comfortable was outstanding. We are looking forward to next season, hopefully for a few trips. I just received my mount, it looks great. See you soon.

Hey Bang,
I wanted to thank you and Tom for all the great hunts the boys had with you, they all want to know when we are going back and who gets to go first. I've hunted with several different out-fitters and I can say truthfully that no one WORKS HARDER then yourself and Tom. From all the stands that you have, so you don't have to hunt the same stand all the time and all of the corn and food plots at each stand.

I thank you both for all the help with the boys I know if it wasn't for both of you these boys wouldn't have all gotten there first deer and more.And they like seeing there pictures on your web sight they have there all there friends check it out.

I will be in-touch with you about hunting dates for 2005 I have more kids wanting to come up and hunt. Hope Tom's ready to sit with some wild kids.

Thank You
Seminole Recreation, Steve Young

Bang & Tommy,
I just wanted to express our sincere appreciation for another excellent vacation and hunt. Even though Michelle is not a hunter she and the kids really had a great time. They totally enjoyed the family atmosphere and new recreational facilities. (They had a great time last year even without them)

As always, the stands, green fields and feeders were all first class as were the food and accommodations. I must also complement you on your recommendation of "Southern Spice" for the processing. Their facility is exceptionally clean and all of their services and products were the best I have ever experienced.

Your extraordinary efforts to put Derek on his first deer were also very much appreciated. It was unfortunate that he got a sick and could not hunt the whole time we were there. He still had a great time and really enjoyed our last hunt together. Derek and Justin are already bugging me to book another hunt and looking forward to coming back next year, as are both Michelle and I.

Good Hunting!
Ray, Michelle, Derek and Justin Van Hook
