MANDEVILLE ADVANCED hUNTER CAMP

 
     

CWA held its second of two camps at Mandeville Island in late July. Decoy painting, archery, fishing, shotgun and rifle shooting were all anxiously awaited activities.

 

The advanced campers had already done a little shooting before camp, but with expert instruction from CWA employee George Oberstadt, they quickly improved their skills.

     
     
 
     

CWA Volunteer Bill Mays brought his duck boat out for everyone to see what the real thing is like.

 

After showing his boat to the campers, he ran the duck calling, an important skill to be proficient at.

     
     
 
     

Waiting to go duck banding, the campers got their lines wet and managed some nice Bass!

 

After a long weekend in the hot delta sun, taking a dip was a big hit.

     
     
     
 
     

CWA Volunteer, Matt Bronson, gave a talk on surviving in the wilderness, which was based on real-life experience.

 

Another great camp, with fun had by all. Much thanks to all of the CWA volunteers and to Clint Womack and Tony Marnell of Mandeville Island.
