last year had a round 15 volunteers. We all planted 66 tree's 33 in each area they were all staked and water, we all returned to the pavilion for launch and out of their by noon. :wink: The FSCA helped start this chapter a round 10 years ago, back then the JW Corbett were harvested around 90 deer per year, and 5 turkeys per year. This year hunter's Harvested 144 Deer and 40 Turkeys. The only thing that's changed in the last 10 years is more burning, planting food plots and all of this done by volunteers/ working with the FWC, doing the work with NWTF $$$ materials. So when you go to one of the NWTF banquets :wink: keep this in the back of your mind the money is being well spent. :idea: Putting more animals on the ground. It was also good to meet airboat4fun out there working hard with his son a long with :arrow: 10 other children.
