Hunter Ed Student Success

"Here’s Austin after his first duck hunt. Peter Merlone, an experienced hunter, was impressed with his safety skills. Austin shot three ducks (first time he’s ever shot a gun) and has officially gotten the “bug”. Thanks again for all your efforts"

Austin's Father, Bill Shea
