Southcentral outdoors for youth field day june 1st
« on: March 19, 2013, 05:08:15 PM »
This years event will be held at east berlin fish and game. I took a year off last year because of some schedule conflicts. This event typically draws 200-300 kids from the surrounding counties and the will participate in many outdoor activities such as fishing muzzleloading and trap. I will once again be presenting predator/varmint hunting to the youth. I have been attending this event since 2003 and always its a blast. In the past i typically did it myself but help is always appreciated. If you are willing to help out presenting or if you are interested in taking a youth to this event then please contact me and i will get ya the contact info. Thanks.

Ben, I think it's great how you do this every year. Now that's what giving back is all about.

It was a hot and long day but still we had 159 kids sign up with 15 stations presented. Anything from the fish and boat commision, pgc to poisonous snakes to fishing , and anything in between. All had fun.

Ben
Did you have any help? Mike came down and helped me. I do not think I could have done it my self. It is hard to talk and stand for 8 hours by my self.
Bless you Ben for doing your event. If our event was not the same day I would have helped you.
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.

I did it by myself again. But it was enjoyable to give back.

Thanks Ben.  Glad it turned out well.
"Predators are either active & feeding, semi-active & callable, or utterly inactive & then practically speaking, no call is needed; we're just taking our guns for a walk. We can & should get used to it, & follow their leed cuz they just ain't eager nor apt to follow our’s any time soon!
