Tree Rat Classic
Posted: Sat Mar 14, 2015 4:51 pm
Today we hosted our annual youth squirrel hunt. We bring in the kids and pair them up with a mentor and do "outdoor" stuff with them The kids are a combination of our own, our friends. The idea is to get them excited about hunting and our way of life in the woods. Today we did a few things...snoe shoeing, squirrel hunt, target shooting, cook up and just had some fun.
Check out these cupcakes one of the wives whipped up for them....camo squirrel cakes. lol
We give them all a gift bag with assorted goodies in them and this year the big hit were the slingshots. We gave them all knives last year and the mothers all complained...I'm sure these will make them just as happy. lol
At the end of the day, our smallest and youngest participant was awarded champ status and the tree rat classic trophy and goodies that came with it. He was a proud kid!
Next year we're going to try and host it earlier before all the snow comes. The snow shoeing was a hit, but it limits a lot of mobility too. Great bunch of kids.
