[QUOTE="Deer Slayer, post: 2965366, member: 8855"] 24/7 - What I am referencing is that many of the children are not being introduced to hunting because the parents may not have a connection to the land. Dad may not hunt or Grandpa died and the family sold the land and divided the money. The parents may have gotten a divorce and the children were awarded to the mother. Mom has no one to talk to about taking her son or daughter hunting. We see this every year. One of the vendors at the show over the weekend was handing out free necklaces to children so that he could talk to Mom and Dad about hunting. He was trying to do his part to promote hunting for the children. OYH takes a select number of children, from non hunting families, on an all expense paid, fully guided, deer hunt during the special youth hunt season. If Mom or Dad had to pay for this hunt it would cost around $1,500.00. The parent or guardian pays $10.00 for the youth's deer tag plus transportation expense to and from the hunt site and that's all. Since I have generated some interest in our program, I will start a thread tonight and explain what we do. We have several organizations who are supplying us with children and we have ranches that are donating their lands for our doe only hunts, what we need are volunteers. Last year we took 41 kids, next year our goal is 100. I will explain tonight. [/QUOTE]
