Youth Hunt
by William Crisp
Earlier this month when I was hanging around the wrong place at the right time my son, Nick, was invited to participate in the early season youth hunt event. Cameron County Youth Outdoor Activities participated in the hunt by sponsoring and educating some kids while allowing them to hunt a piece of private property. Nick was excited about the opportunity and I thought it was a good idea as well so we were in.
The three afternoon events started with a rifle zero and safety session and the following two afternoons the kids were set in places with their mentors. While I expected the kids to learn a lot (and they did) I didn’t expect to learn much, even though I learn something new every day. First off, the kids had a lot of fun and I was slightly surprised at how interested they were in the entire process.
