We had our first meeting today for the 2008 Proving Trail Adventures Youth Hunt. PTA is me and Scott's dream to mentor to young men through hunting. Specifically we want to target guys who may not have good home situations, absent or disinterested fathers. We hope someday to be a "real" business or non-profit, but for now we're just a couple of guys with a passion for hunting and the outdoors wanting to share that and our love for God with young men who might not have gotten that chance. We hope somehow to tie in our hunting videos with this endeavor, but we're still figuring out what that looks like. This years hunt will be a spring black bear hunt. This hunt we deviated from our target audience, a father/son combo will be going with us as well as Joel and his son Wyatt. Total there will be 7 of us. Today we took everyone to the rifle range to practice, go over gun safety and get everyone comfortable with shooting. The kids did great. Next time we'll break out the hunting rifles. The hunt will be in mid-May. I'll post periodic updates as we go.
Posted are a couple pics from previous PTA hunts. The first is Joel and his son Wyatt on a winter Ptarmigan hunt. The next is another Ptarmigan hunt. That's Matt and his first Ptarmigan. (We like to call them Petermeegans).
