If any of you ever get the chance to participate in the National Wild Turkey Federation's Women in the Outdoors Program, I highly recommend it. I attended this event yesterday and had an incredible time! There were women of all ages from 13 to over 70. There were many rotating classes available and each person picked 4. Each of these courses were taught by very skilled, patient and friendly individuals. Upon arrival, we each got a paper grocery sack filled with goodies including a t-shirt, patch, magazines, local outdoor adventure schedules, gift certificates, flies (for fishing) and the list goes on. They provided breakfast and lunch too. The amount of food they had was incredible and all very good. No one ever pushed us to do more than we wanted to do and the option to take a break, have a snack, etc was more than fine. I learned quite a bit yesterday and did some things I have never done before. Despite my body being a bit sore this morning (damn that shotgun had some serious kick!), I'm ready to go back for more! If this event comes anywhere near you, get out and go! It's the best $50.00 I've spent in a LONG time!
