Our Goals

The goals for our inaugural event were modest; to increase our youth participation numbers at the club and maintain those numbers. To stimulate additional member involvement and start building the next generation of conservationists. We chose to do that by creating a one-day event that everyone involved with will never forget, and one that others outside of the event, will want to become a part of moving forward.

We want to close the distance between generations and bring everyone together under one roof to give them an opportunity to share knowledge and experiences, to laugh together, to pray together and of course break bread together. The addition of a hearty potluck lunch seemed to be the perfect catalyst. After all, Good food, Great Friends and Good Times are the main ingredients for unforgettable memories!

In addition, we want to provide a safe and successful outdoor education experience, that will have a positive impact on the lives of all our young participants as they prepare for adulthood. We want to help create the next generation of ethical hunters, shooters, sportsmen and sportswomen by helping them discover the outdoor skills, desires and confidence that already exists hidden within themselves.

Nothing is more important to us than making a quality hunting experience available to these youths without the cost of equipment, the lack of experience, or the availability of acreage being a limiting factor. The outdoors belongs to all of us, we are merely Stewards of the land, and sharing the legacy is our way of ensuring the lifestyle survives for generations that follow. It is our choice, our responsibility, and our commitment.

Do we expect to be paid for our efforts? Absolutely! But understand, the only type of currency we will every accept from any of our young participants comes in the form of an “ear to ear” smile or a simple “Thank You”. Two gestures that mean more to us than any money in the world. No paper tender or precious metal will ever replace them.
