Berry College is partnering with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division and Outdoors Beyond Barriers to host a special deer hunt in memory of Sgt. Ben Cunningham, a game warden who passed away suddenly while working on the project.
The event, named the Sgt. Ben Cunningham Memorial Hunt, will take place December 4–6, 2026, on Berry College property near Rome.
Eight hunters will be selected to participate in the special event, which will honor Cunningham’s memory and his efforts to help organize the hunt.
Applications are open now and will close November 20. Hunters selected through the drawing will be notified by November 27.
The memorial hunt will bring together Berry College, Georgia’s conservation law enforcement community, and Outdoors Beyond Barriers to carry forward a project Cunningham was helping organize before his unexpected death.
