National Hunting and Fishing Day 2023
A beautiful fall day was the perfect backdrop for this popular event. Turnout exceeded expectations and everyone enjoyed a day of presentations, education, participation and HOT DOGS!
Many groups and organizations volunteered to engage future sportsmen and women. Informational displays, active participation events and live demos highlighted the day's activities.
The host club, Elma Conservation, provided the perfect venue with facilities for archery, crossbow, fishing, trap shooting, not to mention a modern clubhouse with a pondside dock and wheelchair accessible ramps.
