A HUGE THANK YOU IS IN ORDER!!!

Postby Jed Finley » Sun Jun 11, 2017 8:33 am

The Troy, IA coon club WOW what a job they did with getting the club ready and the grounds ready for the Trader Inc Youth Challenge! These guys are top of the line and step up to the plate HUGE for the youth of our sport! Jerry Hawkins, Mikey Harward, Mike Grooms, Jacob Jones, Zach Hale, And Chuck Thompson among many more!! These guys done an outstanding job!! Thank you very much for all you did for this hunt! All the guides and judges that stepped up Trent Kennedy, Zach Mcbee, Jack Bingham, Jake Bingham, Chris Freiberger, and Jeremy Rinehart

Next the sponsors!! Branded Creations, SportDog, Cajun, Jerry Lights and Supply, Garmin, and Big Show Game Calls!! With all of you this hunt wouldn't have all the lights and give aways these youth get!! Thank you for all you did and for supporting our youth!!

There was a total of 9 lights given out, 4 pinnacles, tons of shots and hats, 2 shocking systems and Tek2, bark collar and leashes for each kid!!

Next Mr. Jason Gibson!! All I can say if you leave Hungary when Jason is cooking it is your own fault!! He does a feast plus some!! Talk about some of the best BBQ a person could ever eat that man does it!! Stands over that smoker all day long and has things done to perfection!! Thanks a million for doing the Trader Inc Youth Challenge once again!!

Last but not least the Trader Inc Team!! These guys travel for this hunt and only one has a kid in the hunt! Ty Anderson, Garren Gibson, Mike Ralston, Justin Thompson, Josh Michaelis, and Kelly McCombs!! They are always helping get things ready, judging, help the kids out, and make sure everyone has a great time!! Thank you guys for being a part of Trader Inc and for all you do for it!!

Total tally is 129 kids participated in the events held Saturday!! Pretty awesome day and lots of smiles!

Next year is already being planned!! There is going to be atleast one new event that will have even more added money!! Some great ideas being tossed around and we're going to make as many happen as we can to grow this hunt bigger and better!!!

Once again thank you to all that made this possible with out all the efforts this hunt would not have had the success it had!!

On the behalf of the Mid America coon hunters association we would like to thank Jed Finley and Trader Inc for putting on such a classy youth event.
Trader Inc put on a youth event like no other it's amazing to see one man basically organized such a well planned and well manned an event like this.Not one person paid an entry fee, not one person paid for food or drinks, and MACHA is very proud to be selected to host such an amazing event, THANK YOU Jed Finley for this opportunity.
Can't wait tell next year.
Good luck with the next two legs of the youth tri state youth events.
If have a kid and a dog PLEASE try to attend one these events it's a great experience.

Great Job Jed. You are to be commended for giving so much to the youth hunters, they are the future of this great sport. You give alot of time and money to those kids and I'm sure they will never forget their experience at this great event.
