Photos from COA’s-NETO Chapter 1st Annual Youth Whitetail Deer Hunt on Lake o' the
Pines, Corp of Engineers, Brushy Creek Area on January 19th - 20th, 2008.

The hunters saw a buck and several does but no deer were taken.. It was a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The weather was less than idea for the whole hunt but everyone overcame and had a great time!
11 different hunter's -14 volunteers - 2 Corps of Engineer's - 0 deer harvested A lot's of memories were harvested around the camp fire.
Thanks Darren, Dearil, and COA-NETO. The future hunters!!

Looks as if you all hand fun. That is what counts the most.

Awesome

i wish i could have done that stuff when i was a kid.

I just wanted to say thank you James for getting the word out. It is simply amazing how much this means to the parent/guardian out there who's child participates.
Even though the youth didn't get a deer this year -- they had a good time. And man can they eat!!!!
I just want to get the word out to folks near the Longview-Tyler area. We currently have room for 20 kids but can expand to 30 or so if we have the need.
Let's get the word out so we have a need to put in those other stands!
I put in the website that you referred to for the photos. If it is a problem then let the moderators take it out

someone step on that spider please.

Hi. Darren!!

I can tell ya'll don't know Darren very well

I wonder who would voted yes ?

We are glad to see you around Darren. Glad we could help COA-NETO out in some way and I enjoy it. I hear you and Dearil have an announcement to make? Congrats to both parties. I am glad to see it and know you guys will compliment each other with many great things going on.
Yes we often forget about the youth of single parent families and socio-economic staus of many of our youth. They are like sponges at this age and setting a good example for them helps leads them down the path to a well rounded life style. Great to see a fine group of people devoted to helping lead and keep these youth enjoying the outdoors. Great job and we know everyone enjoys the returns and moment spent with these kids and family.

Notice a new chapter is formed
Welcome
COA-NETO Chapter

Challenged Outdoors of America- NETO-Chapter in the Longview TX and the Lake O” Pine’s area. Chapter formed in January/2008. They have hosted one successful youth hunt. They have a full year planned with youth fishing derbies, two hunts - one youth hunt in January and one physically challenged hunt in December, youth campouts, and there will be more events forthcoming. Challenged Outdoorsmen of America is proud to have this group as a chapter. They have been assisting with our events five years and have done a great job.

With the help of persons such as you, we host approximately twelve events per year to educate and enable our handicap and youths to enjoy all of the benefits of the great outdoors, providing much needed therapy. With the new (NETO) chapter we will be able to help more folks.

100% of all funding will be used for the handicap and youth only events. The Texarkana chapter will host Two deer hunts’ in December on Lake Wright Patman with US Army Corps of engineers’ for the physically and mentally challenged for approximately 150 participants plus volunteers, and one disadvantaged youth deer hunt to include fifty youth and their parents plus volunteers at Lake Wright Patman in January 2009.
