SJ 11/9 with the kids

[M4A1]

Hit the sweatline(was #5) on the 9th with 3 Jr's. It was of their 1st time at the refuge duck hunting, my 2 had already been duck hunting a couple times, it was Max's 1st time. Strap full of coots and a couple of ducks later. They had a blast. Max and Adrian fell into the water, and got soaked, (welcome to duck hunting kids) learning to walk in the mud. Max got stuck up to his knees in the mud, and had to get pulled out by yours truly.

in the pic of all 3 of the kids with the strap, they are left to right Raymond (my nephew), 13, Max, (friends' kid), 14, and my son Adrian, 12.

Well done, the future of maintaining the wetlands we have left will be in these young men's hands. Good on you for getting them involved
