Pennsylvania YES provides youth attendees with an opportunity to gain a hands-on education of the history of Pennsylvania and the democratic process. The program is designed help youth develop: an awareness and desire to participate in Pennsylvania government; an appreciation and knowledge of the history and unique heritage of Pennsylvania; an understanding of volunteer networks and how young citizens can serve their communities; and an understanding of the history, mission and programs of the NRA.

Friends of the NRA banquet proceeds cover nearly all costs for those youth attending Pennsylvania YES. For more information, contact Kory Enck, NRA East Pennsylvania Field Representative, at 717-689-3200 or kenck@nrahq.org.

Idaho Bighorn Crags Ram
As a friend of mine and I climbed a high cliff face that overlooked a giant creek basin, the daunting feeling of the steep terrain came over me and I knew the likelihood of finding rams was not good. After 3 separate trips and 27 total days I had met my match in this country. As a native Idahoan I have hunted throughout most of the state for various big game species but bighorn sheep hunting in the Middle Fork of the Salmon River country is the most grueling hunt I've been on as of yet.
