Orion teamed up with the Izaak Walton League of America and assisted in presenting this program at the Woodmont Lodge in western Maryland and at the Ikes national convention at Big Sky, Montana. Executive Director Posewitz joined the teaching team in Big Sky as a follow up to hiskeynote speech to the delegates. A dedicated group of Montana hunter education instructors participated in the training along with Thomas Baumeister, Hunter Education coordinator for Montana and other Izaak Walton League leaders. Plans are being finalized to bring this program to the International Hunter Education Association’s annual conference and the Northeast hunter education instructors in 2008. Thanks to the efforts of Orion president Mark Hirvonen, Cabela’s has agreed to help underwrite the training. An all-star team is being assembled for the IHEA event; Jim Posewitz, Dr. James Tantilo (Cornell), Pat Dorsey (CO Div of Wildlife), Jay Clark (Ikes), and Dr. Robert Norton (UWI retired). I will also assist with the hands-on portions and coordinate the event.
