SCI Utah Chapter 2006 Youth Activities

The Utah Chapter is very happy to announce our 2006 Youth Activities. On March 11 we will sponsor our Youth Hunt, this year at the River Bend Trophy Ranch near Corrine, Utah.  This should be very exciting. Earlier several Chapter Board members hunted here and harvested Three large trophy hogs. In March each of the lucky five Youths will Have the opportunity to harvest a trophy wild sheep or goat or hog Based on availability at that time.  Our 2005 Youth Hunt was a Tremendous success with six youths each harvesting a wild sheep or goat At the Homestead Ranch in Redmond, Utah.

Our second youth activity is to sponsor 2 young hunters to the Indian Head Ranch Apprentice Hunter Camp in Del Rio, Texas. This will be a wonderful opportunity for two young people to experience The world of hunting by educating themselves.  The seven days of Activities include the opportunity to:

Earn their Hunting Safety Certification from the Texas Parks And Wildlife Department;

Expand their knowledge of gun safety, gun care & cleaning Plus improve shooting skills;

Learn practical camp craft, hunting and valuable survival skills;

Enjoy an overnight stay in the wilderness, conservation history, Ecological principles and,

 The partnership between SCI and Indian Head Ranch is designed to Provide a mentored hunting experience for youth conducted by professional Staff who are passionate about our hunting heritage.  Campers will be instructed and tested on Hunter Safety and Responsibility, and be given opportunities to develop hunting and outdoor recreation skills.
