Youth Waterfowl Day was this past weekend...It turned out that I was able to take someone...Drew and I went to the Futch Impoundment...he is a great wingshooter and really knows how to "stay still" - He bagged 3 ringnecks and a gadwall. Unfortunately, he let a widgeon slip by, and I misled him on a beautiful redhead that would not decoy...we did have pintail put down in the decoys, a first for me, but Drew was unloaded - we both watched the pintail leave in a hurried flight - tooooo bad.
Im out for the week, well out of the blog for the week. Lee and I are travelling to the snwy north east, North East, Maryland to be exact - that's the name of the town...they have 30 inches of snow and will get several more inches on Wednesday...
We will be attending training for Operation Purple Camp - the brainchild of the National Military Families Association...we have been before, but since the program is rapidly evolving, we need to be back in school. Operation Purple Camp is a neat experience for children whose parent are deployed to war. We have two weeks of "OPC" along with some other "special" camps for injured vets and military children with disabilities...I'll try and give a complete wrap-up when I return...
Also - by all accounts, the North Carolina Volunteer Leaders' Conference was a success. This annual soire is held to honor the volunteers of 4-H - the lifeblood - for a job well done! They deserve it, and more!
Enjoy the week...
