On Nov. 9, 2019, ECOs Nicholas Nicholas, Rob McCabe, and Kaitlin Grady collaborated with the DEC Hunter Education program to mentor young hunters during Youth Waterfowl Weekend. The ECOs were paired with a junior hunter and set up in a blind on the Carman's River in Southaven County Park. The mentors gave hands-on instruction about waterfowl hunting, firearm safety, and decoy placement. In total, 11 youth hunters participated in the hunt and bagged several ducks for the day.
