Title: Youth opener
Post by: metlhead on September 12, 2023, 06:58:34 AM: That time of year is upon us. I'd like to reach out again to anyone desiring to take out a youth and doesn't have a dog. Past few seasons have been awesome with great people and opportunity. Der Panz said he will be available Saturday morning at Scatter Creek and is excited to go.

The forecast is calling for upper 80's in the Palouse, scablands and basin which is the warmest I can remember. Watch the out of shape dogs for rapid breathing and keep an eyes and ears open for snakes.

Hello there !! Im 31 and live in anacortes. I was wondering if you only help out kids with no waterfowl experience? I would love to get out there and learn to hunt birds . I do deer hunt and have a 12 gauge but don’t know anyone who hunts birds. I also have my hunters safety

The youth seasons are great because I feel I am giving back a bit of the multitudes given to me. Upland is my passion and is mostly an endeavor of solitude
