The KIds and Mentors Outdoors (KAMO) group is having a trap/ pigeon shoot on the morning of Saturday, September 13th. It is on private land east of Goose Island.
We’ll have safety instruction, clays, live pigeons, simulated hunting of those pigeons with dogs. We’ll be done before the heat sets in.
Great for kids between 10 and 15 and their parents.
This is an opportunity for someone to give our outings a try. We need a couple more participants. All equipment provided and free.
Fishing – Labor Day – October – This is the timeframe for the best fishing of the year. These trips are planned via request and are often done on shorter notice than our other outings (due to conditions). Send Mike a text indicating your group?s interest. Trips can be shore based, pontoon, boat, or fishing float. Look up Best Dam Fishing Float if you are unfamiliar with floats.
The La Crosse area KAMO is going out fishing on the Best Dam Fishing Float on either one of two Thursdays – September 25th or October 2nd. It would be from 11 to 2. Free to participants and volunteers.
We are taking out a home school group and could potentially use some adult volunteers.
Mike is the lead mentor and can be reached by getting his contact from – kamokids.org
