Please consider applying for our Spring Bear and Turkey dual skills camp in the Northwest corner of Montana on public land May 5th through the 8th. We will be in the vicinity of Eureka Montana (Exact campsite, and hunting locations will be in the OPORD distributed to attendees)

This is a Train the Trainer focused camp in which attendees will be expected to return to their home states and replicate The AFI mission and event planning process.
