Thread in Hunter Education.
To all who donated to the camp. We have scheduled the new dates. We have been able to drop the price, and are planning to use the money the members donated to buy all the campers eye and ear protection. The kids will use them during the camp and hopefully use them when they leave for shooting and hunting.
Thanks again!!

I was asked to check with the guys who donated to the camp to see if the eye and ear protection idea was alright.
I have the camp cost down to $25 and the donations will cover 50 sets of eyes and ears for the kids.
I am taking names for guys who would like to help for the weekend if anybody is interested.

When it gets a little closer to the time I'll let you know if I can help or not. .

I met with a brand new CO last night who is assigned to District 9. If you need him let me know and I'll get you his contact info.

However you decide to spend the money at the camp is OK by me.

I've got a feeling most of the donators (myself included) won't care how the money is spent, so long as it helps the kids out.
You may have already thought about this, but you might want to check with any of the local manufacturing businesses to see if they would donate ear plugs. Most of them will have boxes upon boxes of plugs, and to donate a box most likely wouldn't hurt them a bit....

Jack.... Which county? I heard we were getting a new one, but I can't remember where. I am sad to say that in the next few years my local C.O. will be retiring. I hope our new C.O. will be as fine as the new recruits I have met this past year.

Dearborn County I believe. His name is Troy Sparks and he's basically a really good guy. He established a new record as he is the oldest recruit ever at 39 years old.

If He is from the latest class I met him at Ross Camp at the Instructors Acadamy. He seemed to be a real decent guy. I have contact with Andy Cline and will request that Troy be a part of the camp. He has to start sometime.
Danf......The youth shooting glasses I am after come with a set of youth ear plugs. We have a box from a factory, but I hate trying to get them to fit in the kid's ears. They are just not made for such a small ear cannal. We do have them for all the adults that stay and the occasional instructor that forgets theirs.

I'm fine with using the money as you see fit. I might be interested in helping as well depending on timing.

The money is going to the camp, so it's well spent. How much money did we end up donating anyway?

$375.
Thanks guys. It seems we got a hog donated over this past weekend along with the equipment and personel to fix it. As soon as I get the paperwork finished it will be posted on the DNR site.
