Youth Muskie Hunt - always a success!

Turning Leaf Challenge 2008 - Youth Musky Hunt!
Mother & daughter team! Both had a great fish follow up but no a takers, using the same buck-tail. Terri saw the teeth in the morning and pulled the bait away, but Sam hung in and did some great figure 8's, they are real troopers!
A special "Thank You" to all the sponsors will be proudly worn (on the back of the sweat shirts) by all that attended.
A heavy frost met the Muskie Hunters on Saturday morning but it sure didn’t dampen their enthusiasm any…maybe the seat of their pants a little though !!
The two clubs filled the lunch room for some great food! BTL Chapter put a challenge out a couple of years ago to have the Illinois Chapter join us this past fall. We challenge other clubs to take a kid fishing -- that's what this is all about. Is your Chapter up to it??
Ellen Wells from BTL Chapter - Muskie Inc. hands out participation Muskie memorabilia to the participants from our sponsors to use in the field. Our major donor and friend of Muskie Inc., Jerry “The Weasel” Messman (a BTL member from Two Rivers) talks to the younger anglers on what fishing with his foster parents meant to him growing up and how it changed his life forever. It is really a Life Long family activity that not only leaves lasting memories but has a bonding effect that no words can explain !

Wolf Pack has been a sponsor for the last three years and has provided a boat each of those years. Pat or Roy have also fished with the participants as well.
We would like to thank Muskies Inc. International and Individual chapters for sponsoring the 2008 Youth Muskie Hunt. We also thank the many donors, contributors, and business that make this possible.

It is programs like these where our heritage, outdoor values, and responsible stewardship are practiced. This welds us to our future generations.

God has Stewards he sends to events like these: we call them Volunteers.
God has Angels he sends to events like these: we call them our Sons & Daughters.

Meet that challenge... support or volunteer... either way you do it, do it ALL THE WAY!
