I just want to thank everyone that was involved in making this event take place. I have twin nephews that just turned ten years old, and unfortunately for them, their father is not involved in their life. Even though it is bad situation for them it gives me a chance to be more involved in their life, and over the past two or three years some of my more memorable hunting and fishing trips have been with them. I too grew up in a similar situation as them, my father cared nothing for the outdoors, even though he did not discourage my love for hunting and fishing, he did not encourage it either. I was fortunate enough to have an uncle, and cousins that took me, and many of the experiences I had as a kid are some of my fondest memories today. A lot of times when I take them, I feel like I am learning just as much as I am trying to teach. Many of us take for granted the opportunities we have when it comes to doing what we love, I know there have many times when I was disappointed because I did see or kill anything. Then I think about the excitement I see from my nephews when I tell them they are going, and makes me appreciate the experience even more. In my opinion, introducing a child to outdoors, and teaching them to respect it, is one of the greatest things you can do for them. I cannot even begin to tell you the trouble I missed out on because I was in the woods or on the water. Once again my hat off to all you that participated, and keep it up.
