Good day fellow Racks & Spurs Club members! This year, the Racks & Spurs Club would like to start commemorating the annual hunting seasons we all partake in by documenting our personal involvement with the youth of our sports. Each year, newly introduced youngsters get the great opportunity to get involved in the great outdoors. Whether it be hunting, fishing, scouting, going out with dad or mom in the field etc... it's all a part of "Passing On The Tradition"... something of which we here at the Racks & Spurs Club strongly support!
It is in these great new experiences that we would like to dedicate a portion of our online outdoor community to the youth of our sports! That being said, we'd like to encourage all of our members and family of the Racks & Spurs Club to take a youngster out in the field this year. Introduce them to God's Country! Teach them the principles of good safety, strong moral ethics, and most importantly... good sportsmanship afield! In doing so, we'd like to ask our members that we "capture" these great moments by taking pictures and providing stories to go with the events and place them on the site for all to enjoy and witness. And even more-so, get a youth to join our community so that they too can enjoy what the site has to offer in terms of encouragement, safety, tips and strategies to becoming more successful in the woods etc. We're all here to help and encourage them to take the torch in which we pass unto them!
I know that here in New York, we have a Spring Youth Turkey Season, in which pre-selected days prior to the opening of the regular turkey season is dedicated to opening an opportunity for the youth to get out and hunt those spring gobblers! It's instances like that in which we'd really like to see some pictures and documentation of the event on the Racks & Spurs Club forums!
I've created a BRAND NEW board on the site titled "Generation Next... Youth In The Outdoors" in which we'd like to support this movement in. Please help contribute in building this board with us from the beginning! It will be located here: racksandspursclub.com/index.cgi?board=youthhunting
So in closing, as elders of the outdoor heritage and our online community of sportsmen and sportswomen alike, we encourage you all to take a young boy and/or girl out into the field this year and post their experiences on the site! Let's pull together on this and responsibly pass on the tradition! Thank you.
