When I was young, I was in a boys club that was run by a little church down on the corner. The leaders were mainly three older men. All were strong outdoorsmen.
The oldest was a contemporary of Fred Bear and I suspect they ran in the same circles.
I’m now that old man. While I’m not much of a hunter, I’m strongly into outdoor adventures. I became a Boy Scout leader and when they lost their way morally, I transferred over to Trail Life USA.
Last weekend I joined two troops for a shooting sports campout and guided about 30 young men in the projectile sports.
They also got to enjoy as Nugent calls it, The Mystical Flight of the Arrow.
Very cool. Sounds fun and fulfilling. Good for the soul.
