This is a great event to support.

I was at the Illinois one last fall and I had a great time. http://www.huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=151

It's very rewarding.

I'll try my best to make this year's IL event too.

Well, thanks to Christine's fine field journal & pictures (it looked like a beautiful day!) of last years event - I think I have been convinced & will most likely go ahead and volunteer as a "Trail Guide" for this years event. It looks like a great event and I could probobly fit right in and help out. I have been a Hunter Safety Education instructor here in IL for some time now so I could do the Conservation Education, Firearm Safety, Hunter Education and of course one of my favorite events - BB gun range (See me @ National Hunting & Fishing Days, Silver Spring State Park, annually).

October 7th, huh? Hey at a minimum it's a free lunch! LOL

I just sent y'all an email in the hopes that you'll still be interested in my help! I LOVE the thought of passing on whatever knowledge I've amassed to the next generation of outdoorsmen (and outdoorswomen of course).
