Hubert is a great example of what mentoring and helping kids is all about. He has been to several of the Kicking Bear events—always helping and bringing kids from outside his own home. This story has been entered in the Kicking Bear story contest for 2005. At 13, Cody had drawn his first turkey permit. He had deer hunted the last two years but without any luck. |

This last winter, 2002, I passed my hunters safety, so I would be able to go gun deer hunting in the fall of 2003. My Dad put in a food plot for me and a nice stand to hunt from. During the bow season Dad got photos and video of a particular 9 pointer. I was hoping to see this buck during gun season. |
