The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is looking for young hunters, interested in bowhunting for big game to take part in the Mentored Youth Archery Hunt Program (MYAHP).

The program pairs young hunters, 12 to 17 years old, with qualified bowhunter education instructors for pre-season scouting, tree stand placement, and hunting during the entire 2008 archery deer season.

"MYAHP is designed for individuals who want to learn what it takes to be a safe, responsible and successful bowhunter, but may not have the resources or means to do so," said Aaron Hershberger, the Commission’s hunter outreach coordinator.

Participants in MYAHP must be certified in Nebraska Bowhunter Education and complete an application/parental release form which is available by calling (402) 471-6144.

For more information on MYAHP visit the Commission's Web site at www.OutdoorNebraska.org and click on Youth Programs.

Florida Axis Buck Hunt
I went on an Axis Buck hunt on the Razor Ranch here in Florida. This ranch has 15,000 acres. We started out early morning. But winds kept shifting on us and we got busted by the Axis deer. Finally we saw a huge buck around 2 pm. After we stalked with in shooting range, I was ready for my shot.
