This years Youth Day was held on September 10. It was open to all area youth between the ages of 10 and 16. Activities the kids participated in included .22 shooting, trap shooting, archery shooting, muzzleloader shooting and knife and hatchet throwing. There was adult supervision and assistance at each of these stations. About 55 kids showed up and had a lot of fun. During the lunch that was served, the kids listened to Jim Morrison, an area trapper and trapping instructor. Jim also brought many pelts of various animals he has trapped over the years. Dale Hochhausen, our area game warden, also spoke about recent rule changes and answered questions from the kids and the adults present. Finally, two members of the US Youth Marksmanship Rifle team spoke about there experiences representing our country at national and international competitions. They even brought one of their competition rifles to show off. It is definitely not your typical 30-06 rifle!! Many thanks to all the volunteers who gave of their time and expertise to make this annual event a success.
