Outdoor Club Youth Go Deer Hunting

We had a great youth deer hunt while participating with the 12th Annual Youth Hunt at Kinloch Farm in Essex County. Owner Bruce Lee, partnered with Mac McLennan and the Northern Neck Chapter of the Virginia Deer Hunter's Association to offer a total of 16 youth a chance at a deer. Kinloch Farm is intensively managed so the kids really got a great opportunity. Out of the seven kids from our club that showed up, four were able to get deer. Congratulations to those youth and thanks to Mr. Lee, Mr. McLennan and Norther Neck Chapter of the VDHA. More pics to come soon!

Deer Tracking/Recovery Meeting Wednesday, November 2nd

UPDATE:We are FILLED and the EVENT is no longer open. If the event goes well, we may do it again for others that are interested.

Outdoor Club Meeting

Tracking Deer

Have you ever wanted to know how to recover a deer you shot or arrowed? It is not always easy. Mr. Fike will be offering a meeting to discuss and show students some tricks to following a hit deer and tracking it down so it can be recovered and the meat does not go to waste.

We will initially meet in my classroom at 2:30, have some discussion and then venture outside to have a practical exercise in the woods. Due to the nature of the meeting, I am limiting the meeting to no more than 8 students. First come, first served. I will be choosy on which students I permit to stay after as we are going to be in the woods. Students that want to participate should wear appropriate clothes to be outside in the woods.

The meeting will be held if we have at least 6 students signed up.  Parents should pick up their students at the FRONT of the school at 4 PM. The meeting goes from 2:30-4 PM on Wednesday. Please do meet the students at this location.

I, _____________________ __________________ (please print your name)  give my permission for my student, __________________________ __________________ ( student’s name) to stay after for the outdoor club meeting on Wednesday, November 2nd.

We plan on holding the course October 11-13^th from 2:30 until 4:45 each of those days. The exception is that on Thursday the 13^th, the students will have to take a test and may take a bit longer. We expect to finish on Thursday by 5 PM. This is contingent on us having at least 20 students sign up.

We will need the information below AND students will need a ride to arrive at 4:45 promptly in front of the school each day. Students MUST NOT miss any of the three classes. This is a state requirement. NO exceptions can be made.

Parents are more than welcome to attend as well!

If your students wants to bring a snack, we are fine with that as long as all trash is put in the trashcan and not left in the classroom. The class will be held in Mr. Fike’s room  #143.
