This program educates up to 20 at-risk youth between the ages of 12-15 about the fun of shooting, hunting, and the outdoors. Our program consists of a two-day event. On September 29, 2007, we will hold an educational event that will be held at the Heartland Shooting Park. The event will begin at 7:45 A.M., with registration and the rest of the morning will entail 6 sessions. The sessions will include dog handling, shooting instructions, trap shooting, conservation and laws, bird cleaning, and shotgun patterning with fence crossing plus asking permission to hunt on private land. We will then have a lunch provided in part by Weimers Hot Dogs, Wal-Mart, Pepsi, Frito-Lay and the Chapter. After lunch there will be a live bird hunt for the youth to harvest a live bird. When the mentor and youth are not hunting they can participate in more trap shooting, skeet shooting, black powder shooting and archery. The day should conclude around 4:00 P.M. The second part of our program entails a wild bird hunt on October 20, 2007, during the state youth hunting weekend. This will be a fun day for the youth as well as the mentors and volunteers who may have dogs they would like to have in the field before the season opens. This wild bird hunt will be in the morning only and will take place at The Nature Conservancy, located south of the Wood River Interchange. As you may know, this area is only open to an occasional youth hunt and is loaded with wild birds. The Conservancy was generously donated for its use for our chapter. As I stated previously, we received your name as a possible volunteer. The commitment would include two days. On September 29, 2007, we ask you to be there at 7:45 A.M. and stay until around 4:00 P.M. If you cant stay all day, any help would be appreciated. On October 20, 2007, we ask for your assistance from 8:30 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. We are in need of 50 to 60 volunteers to make the event an educational and fun activity that these at-risk youth will remember for a lifetime. The need is for 20 mentors who will be paired with a youth for the two days. The mentor will help with getting the youth to each station, provide support to the youth at the stations, and walk with the youth during both live bird hunts. We also need around 6 dog handlers. For the September 29, 2007 event we are requesting pointing dogs only, due to the inexperienced hunters and raised birds. However, if you are a mentor and you have a retriever, we encourage you to bring your dog for the October 20, 2007, event. The last need for volunteers is to help run the event. We will need help with the trap station, the morning sessions, registration, cooking, cleaning birds, and help at the hunting areas. Even if you cant commit to the whole time, we could use any help you would be willing to provide. Please contact Colby before September 14, 2007, whether or not you plan to help since we must know the total number of helpers to ensure a successful event. If you have questions, please feel free to call Colby at 389-8785, his work number. Please leave a message if you dont reach me directly. The Loup Platte Ringnecks Chapter appreciates your time and consideration for this important event.
