Caps, caps and more caps.
I put out a call to a few manufacturers.
Some have responded and some haven't
I got 24 caps from Big Dog Treestands, 12 caps from American Whitetail Archery Targets and 6 camo caps from Tenpoint Crossbows. Phew!
TenPoint also sent a few DVDs.
Big Dog sent 12 Treestand locator lights that we will use for the Youth Hunt so that the mentors can find the stands/blinds easier.
Horton promised a care package, but I don't know what it is yet.
Castrup African Safaris sent some nice deer prints. Enough for all the youths.
Haven't heard back from Bear yet.
Steve Griffin ( Freedom Hunt ) is sending some Freedom Hunt T Shirts.
I would not mind getting orange vests for all the youths and having the kids names embroidered on them.
Has anyone ever tried to get anything out of Dicks or Gander Mountain? How are they to work with?
Any help on this is appreciated.
WW

I just got off of the phone with our local ACE Hardware owner on some outdoor freebies for the youth & mentors. I'll let you know what he comes up with as soon as he gets back with me. I am 100% percent sure we'll receive some outdoor related goodies based on our conversation.

WW Woody, I just put in an order for some hunting supplies and included 12 youth size orange vests. I'll get them embroidered when they come in. I'll need complet names Are any of the hats you have coming orange??? Great!!Not really a hunter blaze orange. The American Whitetail caps are a faded orange. These caps come new with the "distressed" look. I don't think they would be hunter orange legal. I just got a package from Horton today. They sent me 10 crossbow hunting DVDs and 10 knives. I think it is best we give the knives to the mentors and let them decide when and how to give the knives to the youths. We wouldn't want any cut fingers or worse.. I'm still waiting on Bear and PSE..

I went to a "fall sports show" in Mt. Vernon Indiana today.
I picked up ten Drury Outdoors " Speed Kills 2" DVDs.
Buck and Jakes said they would donate something. Not sure what yet.
I've got a custom turkey call coming from Bill's Custom Turkey Calls in Grandview Indiana.
Dean Stallion of American Taxidermy donated a $50 gift certificate for taxidermy work.
If someone can come up with a hanging weight scale we might just do a "Big Deer" contest with the call and the gift certificate and maybe a couple other items being prizes..
What do you all think about that???
