Spring Turkey Hunt at Jeff Kelley Farm

Date: May 12th-14th, 2025
Heroes: 1
Location: Brookville, Pennsylvania

Details:
Every spring, WHHC gets the honor of sending a Hero out to the Kelley family farm in Pennsylvania for a turkey hunt, and it’s always something special. Board member and longtime volunteer Jeff Kelley opens his family farm and gives our Heroes a chance to unwind, connect, and just enjoy being in the outdoors.
This year, we flew Hero Jonathan Kirk in from Colorado. From the second Jonathan stepped into camp, he was greeted with open arms, and good company. The next morning, he and (WHHC Guide) Cody Ishman slipped into a spot Cody had been scouting for days, and it wasn’t long before Jonathan dropped his very first wild turkey just after sunrise. But honestly, the best part wasn’t the bird, it was the laughter, the stories, and the time spent in the woods. That kind of peace is hard to come by, and Jonathan left camp recharged and full of gratitude. This is what WHHC is all about. Real connection. Real healing. And giving back to those who’ve already given so much.
Big thank you to Jeff Kelley, Cody Ishman, Paul Culley, and everyone who made this hunt one for the books. Can’t wait for the next one.
