Favorite FCS event: 11/10/01 Goose Hunt (119 geese for eight hunters; one short of 15 geese per hunter)!
I am a member of FCS because: Originally it was for hunting opportunities and fellowship. While that is still a major factor, I truly believe that this is a ministry that God has called me to serve in.
Dream hunt/fishing trip: African Safari including leopard and lion, elk hunt (I don't care where), Alaska for moose and griz, and hunting aliens with my predator buddies (I’ve got as good a chance of doing that as I do the first three)
Personal comments: Since the time that I was born again (9/26/77) I have been involved in many ministries. The ministry of FCS stands head and shoulders above the rest. I truly believe that the best for FCS is yet to be.
