One of the guys I was looking forward to meeting at our sports show this past weekend was Conservation Mike of the Lake County Fish and Game. I’ve heard Conservation Mike on our local radio station many times and he is also a twitter friend – @conservationmik.
It’s hard finding someone you’ve never seen a picture of let alone finding that one out of 1000 in camouflage.
This is a show people not the woods.
Mike is on the left and if I were a better outdoor writer I would’ve gotten the name of the guy on the right. But I’m not and I didn’t. Normally I’m very good about introducing myself whether someone is paying attention to me or not. I think it’s because my focus was on entering their raffle to win that gun.
“Win Me – Camo gun.”
I don’t even know what kind of gun it is or what you would use it for – rabbit, deer, bear or to scare off a mean old fox eating my duck eggs – but I want it.
After I got home that night I read their brochure and searched their website: The Lake County Fish and Game’s mission is to protect and encourage all measures designed to conserve fish, game, forest, and all natural resources in the State of Indiana and its surrounds, and to foster among its members a spirit of true sportsmanship.
Some of their goals and programs:
Hunter safety education classes, outdoor sportsmens swap meets, fishing derbies, wild game dinners, archery range, sporting clays …
Mark (my hunter) If I win that gun I’m ganna go smack up some clays.
You’ll shoot your toe off.
Have a good day all … I wonder if my new BFF from yesterday will let me come over and smack some pop cans with her new lil sparkly bb gun.

The guy on the right is Dave Jarzombek (Jarz). The shot gun is a Bennelli Super Nova $1 each 6 for $5. Second is the Mossberg 22. It would be good for just about anything. Birds, waterfowl, small game, deer, clays, duck egg eating fox. Not toes.
It was very nice to meet you. Mark came up to me Friday and said “I hear you’re following my wife” It took me a second to figure out who he was talking about…lol Next weekend we will be at the Lake Co gun show, at the fair grounds. See ya’ll there
Whatever kind of guns they are. lol
For a second there I’d thought Mark had a jealous bone in his body. Darn.
Thanks Mike.
If you win that gun. bring it to Team Huntress.. we won’t let you shoot your toe off..
Stacey, Hopefully no others toes either.
my husband would love this. we love the outdoors
My husband would love it too Missy.
We totally see through Mark’s warning about shooting your toe off. If you win the gun and are afraid to shoot it, who might you give it to? Hmm…
Sherry, Hmm we might have to talk.
Winning that gun could be the start of a whole new saga for The Hunters Wife.
I wouldn’t mind having either of the guns mentioned by Conservation Mike.
CDGardens, I might ruin my reputation if I shoot a gun.
Good luck on winning that gun – those would be great for everything Conservation Mike mentioned. You’ll just have to hide it from Mark because if he’s anything like my husband he’d try to “borrow” it from you permanently!

Blessed, I would have to hide it. I’m still looking for things he’s borrowed of mine.
Mark’s gonna hate it when you start bringing home more game than he does. Mwa ha haaaaaa!
NorCal, I would never shoot a critter with it.
If you win it you can always give it to me. LOL
Rick, Stand in line bud.
