Ok, now for the rest of the story.....
I did some checking around and contacted my friend who arranged the donated hunt. She swears up and down the guy is legit and said he was a close friend of her husband's. She called Ivey and he said he never heard from my friend. So, she sent my friend Ivey's number and told him to call that night. Well, appearently, the NWTF gave my friend the wrong phone number.
So, the hunt is set for the last few days of August and the first few days of September. I was hoping my friend would take me, but my husband might object. Instead, he is taking a professional wildlife photographer.
Thanks for your advice and help.
