A turkey-calling championship, reality-show snake wranglers and a shotgun giveaway will highlight the third annual Northwest Georgia Hunting & Fishing Expo, scheduled this weekend in Dalton.
Some of the top turkey callers in the country will compete in this National Wild Turkey Federation-sanctioned contest for the Southeastern Classic Championship. The winner earns a spot in the NWTF Grand Nationals Calling Championships in Nashville.
In addition to contests for professional callers, there will be divisions for anyone who wants to compete. To register in advance, call Paul Davis at 706-260-0214.
The snake wranglers are Jason and Sarah Clark, who own and operate Southeastern Reptile Rescue. The Clarks and their crew are featured on the show “SnakesKin” on Animal Planet.
