 Hello All,Ê
I hope this finds you
well, I wish we had some of this rain on Saturday, the ducks
might have flown a little lower.
We had our 60th Youth
Duck hunt on Saturday and thanks again to Officer Gareth
Williams, Keegan Stokes and Patrick Baker for doing all the
heavy lifting, it was a great success.
Thanks again to the
Refuge Manager Matt Hillman, and senior management for
allowing this year's hunt to continue as before.
 We hosted 15 young
adult hunters, along with mentors, parents, and dog handlers,
everyone had a great, Safe hunt.
This year the Youth
Hunters harvested, 6 black ducks and 1 hybrid, and had many
shots at other ducks and geese but were unable to connect as
the ducks were flying very high on a bright blue bird day.
 Thanks again to all the
volunteer mentors, and dog handlers, who are always an
essential part of producing a safe and learning experience for
the youth hunters each year as you can see from the
attachments we had nothing but smiles.
Thank you all again,
Mike Robinson
President - Essex
County League of Sportsmen
