IA Born Report post Posted February 14, 2014 All- I just got the flier for the 2014 5th Annual Juniors Turkey Camp near Happy Jack, AZ. This camp caters to OTC tags in 5A and 5B as well as draw tags for 6A. The camp will be 18-20 April and is free. The downside of the youth turkey season this year is that it is over Easter Weekend. We are hoping to still see plenty of kids out there and we really need mentors who are willing to give everything they've got to get kids on birds and teach them basic outdoor skills, hunting ethics, and turkey hunting. Camp will be at the V Bar V ranch and you can contact Tim Denny of the Mingus Mountain Longbeards (Cottonwood) to register (928.301.0853; longbeardsaz@gmail.com). Flyer is attached (hopefully). I can tell you that volunteering to mentor at this camp has truly changed my life for the better. Please consider mentoring! 2014 Jr Camp Flyer.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues Stew Report post Posted February 14, 2014 Does mentoring include getting to take the kids out and put them on birds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IA Born Report post Posted February 14, 2014 Does mentoring include getting to take the kids out and put them on birds? That is EXACTLY what it includes and is what we need! Some of the kids are first timers and some have some really heartbreaking stories. You get to mentor them in life and turkey hunting! I see you are here in Flag. If you want to meet up sometime and talk more about it, let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IA Born Report post Posted March 31, 2014 Couestracker reminded me that we still need mentors and help with our Happy Jack Camp this year. Whether you're closer to the Colcord Ridge Camp or the Happy Jack Camp, please consider volunteering your time to help the kids. It really means a great deal to them and encourages retention of their generation! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
