Spencer enjoys outdoor adventures
Hi Dennis, This week's report... I went with my dad when he went on a damage control hunt for elk. I didn't do any hunting myself, but I got to ride quads and watch for wildlife. We didn't get an elk, but we did get to see some large elk in the Hanford reservation area. That was pretty cool.
"My mom and I looked over the Washington fishing and hunting Web site for registration and information on the hunter's safety class. That site has so much information.
"The bald eagle trip is a great idea, we actually do that every year. Another great outdoor adventure is the Oak Creek Feeding Station outside of Naches on White Pass. If you are lucky you will get to take the truck out into the field when they feed the elk.
"I would really, really like to be on your radio show. That would be cool!
"Well, that's all I have this week, Sincerely, Spencer"
Great report, Spencer.
Spencer Kimbro is the first youth to participate in the newly organized Youth Outdoors Unlimited program. I have asked him to submit a report each week to inform readers about his current activities.
Already he is producing suggestions for ways others can explore the outdoors. The bald eagle trip is one for everyone to consider. Take the entire family to the Steamboat Rock State Park area for a wildlife viewing trip. There should be a bunch of deer, bald eagles and sometimes a golden eagle or two.
We haven't been to the Oak Creek Feeding Station yet, but should make it a priority.
