Not Parker guns but this is what it's all about!

Today I was booked to guide out a foursome. Two 15 year old girls were with their fathers on their first bird hunt. The safety, gun handling, shoot/don't shoot decisions were awesome!! It was such a pleasure to participate in their first time in the field and to witness a few really fine shots from the girls to boot!! They were better than most adults I've guided. Looking forward to working with them on the clays range and to guide them again.

Like you say Mike, this truly is what it’s all about!!

Mike amazing! Our little one Gia has expressed some interest in getting her hunting license. Took her to watch Raisin work and she was amazed at what she saw, two points, two dead birds, then she helped me make pheasant pot pie (after "the guts were out"). So seeing other young women in the sport is amazing. I'm convinced that it is one of the things that can help save the sport and the heritage. I'm thinking of bringing her to Johns after deer season. Do kids in PA need a hunting license for a preserve? They don't in NY, and not sure of age requirements. I'm assuming your mustache didn't scare these young women off. A good thing. I've seen it. It's scary.

Andy, no age restriction and no need for a PA license to hunt on a preserve in PA. BTW, majority of women like the stache, it's "men" who can't grow a good one who fear it!!

Dude I can grow hair easily everywhere EXCEPT the top of my head ! I’d gladly give up the beard and all the damn hair on my back to get the top filled out again

This morning Harry got his first wood duck and this afternoon there were several hundred youth shooters competing at the Forest City Gun Club. There is hope and a lot of it actually

I would guess more so in a normal state Mills. NY is the liberal trash heap of the world. There is a high school near us that is very rural. And for 50 years the kids have had a “drive your tractor to school day” for the seniors. They are all farmers. This year they won’t let them do it because it’s not environmentally friendly. And this is in a rural conservative area. I don’t know what the hell is wrong with this world but it’s really a problem. Orders come from Albany. Can’t wait to get out of here someday. I’ll be in a walker by then but I’ll move it fast!
