aging young people to spend
time in nature by doing things
like introducing archery into
the schools, providing con-

trolled youth hunts, and offer- Sam,
ing essays like this one. As
long as we continue teaching I would like to thank you for giving me the op-
our children about nature and portunity to go on the hunt through providing

providing them with outdoor the essay contest. I really enjoyed the experience
opportunities, hunting, this
great tradition will never die. and I am very grateful to have had it. This was

the very first hunt I have been on and it was a

truly amazing time. The feeling of being in the

field and watching my ram walk out in front of

me is unforgettable. I appreciate your help for

putting it together and I will never forget this.

Sincerely,

Brigitte Mulvaney
