Both of my boys have been hunting with me for several years, when we get the chance. They have also been to two of the local bird shoots and I was surprised to see how many local kids are actually into hunting! There is a J.A.K.E.S. event coming up soon, give Steve a call and see if there are still openings. I couldn't download the flyer so I am linking to the page on another forum (I hope it's OK): http://www.bdoutdoors.com/forums/threads/j-a-k-e-s-event-2014.543019/
