January-February 2019 • Nebraskaland 57
We all know someone, young or old, who would love an
outdoor experience of any type, such as hunting, fi shing,
camping, cycling, hiking, or any of the myriad of outdoor
activities. Sometimes the most diffi cult step is that fi rst one,
and many of us need that little push to get started.
We all have that one person who made a diff erence in our
lives, who asked us to go fi shing or hunting or on some other
great outdoor adventure. I bet we all remember those fi rst
times in our lives: the fi rst time you saw that ring-necked
pheasant explode out of a patch of cover or the fi rst time you
felt the pull of a fi sh on the end of your line.
We take many things for granted in our everyday lives.
We've experienced these things before. However, there are
countless others who have never had the chance to see those
many wonders of the great outdoors.
This makes a great opportunity for all of us! Ask someone
to go with you on that next pheasant hunt, fi shing trip, or
whatever your next outdoor experience may be.
Here in Nebraska we are fortunate to have countless
outdoor opportunities available to us. There are many
organizations that can help you in this mentoring process.
Many of them already have programs that will assist you in
becoming a mentor for someone who is ready for that new
adventure.
It is not necessarily just youth that can benefi t from
mentoring. There are many veterans, disadvantaged and
other adults who need a little assistance to get started. The
opportunities are endless!
So, take someone with you the next time you wet a line or
take your dog out to chase up a few birds. You will be passing
along our hunting, fi shing and outdoor heritage. But best of
all, you will make friends for life.
