The future of our hunting heritage rests in our youngsters, which is why the MSA is dedicated to providing youth hunting and sporting opportunities.

Over the past year, the MSA has supported the
following youth activities & organizations: |
||

| The MSA has teamed up with Deer Creek Archery to offer 2 hunter education classes in June and July. Completing this course will satisfy the DNR Safety Education requirements needed for youngsters buying a hunting license. For more information, please see the Deer Creek website. >>more>> | ||

| Youth Hunt Day at J&P | ||
| Every summer, the DNR puts together at Youth Day at the J&P Hunting Lodge on the Eastern Shore. This half-day event gives over 100 kids a chance to practice skeet / archery shooting, as well as to listen to guest speakers and view informational booths from many different organizations representing archery, turkey, duck, hounds, law enforcement, and others. The MSA ran a booth which discussed tree stand safety. | ||

| Eagle Scout Project | ||
| This summer, the MSA was contacted by Justin who was trying to raise money for his Eagle Scout service project. This young man had a fantastic idea in which he would single handedly build a portable, handicapped accessible duck blind. To view pictures of Justin's final result, click here. | ||
