YOuth Waterfowl Day

We spent youth waterfowl day in the company of Steve Purks. Steve is an avid waterfowler and turkey hunter. I would even consider him a professional at what he does. He has a passion for passing on  his knowledge to new hunters, particularly kids. He did a ton of work to prep for the hunt for Kristy and her friend Faith. Kristy took her little yellow Lab, Baily, out with us. After some superb calling by Steve, some geese wheeled in and the girls shot. Baily, with some direction and prompting, retrieve her first goose. Steve took some time and showed Kristy how to encourage her and train the dog properly. Within five minutes, Steve had her enthusiastically retrieving those big bombers!
I really appreciate Steve taking us out. We had a great time and Steve was so generous of his time and effort. We stopped at Horne's in Port Royal for a late lunch and enjoyed some fellowship and waterfowl  and dog training talk too. The memory I have of my daughter and her friend getting some goose hunting in will remain in my heart for awhile. Steve Purks is a great guy and the real deal. Thanks Steve for taking us out!
