In my opinion any and all can come. The handling of firearms will be left for the older kinds of coarse.
The younger their introduced to certain aspects of the sport the better in my opinion. Who doesn't love a 2 year old running around the house blowing on a duck call, right?
The content will be aimed to the ages of 12 - 17. But again why not get them involved early.

I believe it is 12.
But Kevin Rose would be the best for answering this question.
The club may have certain guidelines as well.

I would like to thank everyone who helpped with the seminar and a very special thank you to Anthony, Kevin Rose and the Lunenburg Rod Gun club who made this great day possible.
We had an amazing turn out of 24 kids. I would imagine pics will be posted shortly.
Thanks again

WOW!!! What a great turn out we had. 24 kids ranging from 7-18 who left with a bit more knowledge of the addiction we all love Waterfowl Hunting. I have to give a huge thanks to the Lunenburg Rod & Gun Club for the use of their facility, donations of prizes, and all the members who came out to make this day a big success. DUX-N-DOGS, Orion Lanyards, Wallace Equipment and Lunenburg Save-eas, M&S Foods and the Argyle for all the donations of prizes and food. Also DELTA Waterfowl for providing prizes, hats and calls for the kids. Also Special thanks to all the mentors for their time and knowledge they shared for this great event. Kevin Rose, Mike Sabean, Craig Cavicci, Nona Allen, Russell Crouse, Mark Hunt, Lloyd Blagdon, Bailey, Orion, NS DNR Officer Paul Steadman, and Environment Canada's Kim MacVicar. Here a some pics from the day Group Pic  A Great turn out for the first but not last South Shore Waterfowl Day  Mike Sabean reviewing farearm safety  Myself teaching Waterfowl ID  Kevin Rose fireing a shot for Shotgun Patterning  Checking out the pattern   The youngest attendee, she had to leave early for her nap.  Thanks again Craig for a great job on Duck Calling  Sharing knowledge.  Kevin Rose on Goose Calling  Officer Steadman stayed the entire day and was great with all questions  Lloyd and Bailey doing the retriever demo  Orion showed off his sharp nose, obedience and his world famous drive to retrieve bumpers  Mark showing some waterfowl gear.  Everyone who shot hit a target, great for some who never shot a gum before(no Berettas on site)  NS DNR CO Paul Steadman Fielding questions on the Migratory Bird Act and Provincial Legislation.  Environment Canada's Kim MacVicar reviewing Migratory Bird act and showing the kids the tools they use in the field.  I think everyone had a great time and I am certain there will be a repeat next year. Please any comments good or bad you have or hear please let me know. |
