🌟 A Big Thank You to Gabe Lozano! 🌟

We’re thrilled to extend our deepest gratitude to Gabe Lozano for sharing an incredible update on the Texas Youth Hunters Program! 🏹✨

If you have a kid aged 9 or older, this program is a fantastic opportunity for them to learn about gun safety and game meat processing, including harvesting does and javelinas—plus, they get to take the meat home! 🦌🌟

Participants also get the chance to hunt on some of the premier ranches in the area, helping manage animal populations and keep our ecosystems balanced. Did you know that just four javelinas can destroy four acres of crops in days? This program is crucial for managing wildlife and supporting local agriculture. 🌾🔫

Thank you, Gabe, for bringing this vital program to our attention. For those interested, don’t miss out on this opportunity to get involved and make a difference! 🌟
