There is camping at a local camp ground and the food is EXCELLENT.
Generally there is a pig roast on the Saturday night.... Silent auctions etc.
Only Women can sign up for the weekend. Many were mother daughter combinations.
This fall several of the ladies came back for a combination goose/deer hunt.... Sadly the weather was too warm and all they did was improve their tans.
One of the ladies that took my course now has her black badge for IPSC shooting.....made me very proud to have helped out. I am certainly doing another course this year. Howver now they want me to put on a 4 hour cousre instead of 2.
