No they don't all need gear. Some of them have hunted before and their parents hunt. This kid and one other that I am taking do have support from home but do not have parents that hunt. I have taken these two ice fishing and they loved it. They work hard in school and in sports and I want them to enjoy the outdoors.
Thanks to those who have helped. I am not saying a word to these guys. I am going to pull them from study hall and suprize them one of these days. I am also going to invite them to oldgobbler so they can learn from some of the finest people in the hunting world. I know that by helping them, they will help others someday.
