Chris and I have our Woody box project well under way. Unfortunately Chris tore up his knee and was unable to get out this time but he did a heck of a job organizing everything!
Reliable Gun offered up some prizes for a draw among our volunteers and Kent cartridge Canada donated a box of faster to each of our volunteers too! Things are looking up, Chris and I may not have to fund this whole thing in the coming years, it's great to get sponsors helping us out! We also received a Boat Tote Boat accessory which we will raffle off to help fund more supplies. I understand Sure Shot Calls has sent us a package and it's waiting at our mailbox in Blaine, another item to put in a draw for our group!
We were fortunate to pick the 2 best weather days of the year this time, usually its been pretty wet and cold.
A big thank you to everyone who has helped with this project. We have 80 boxes in the Marsh now, 14 at the farm we hunt (we put trail cams on these).

New hunter Carson and his dad came out too. Carson was excited to get to work on this conservation project and he's going to really enjoy doing the nest checks in a few weeks!

Could I get a copy of your box plans? The ones I found on the web waste too much wood and I have 3 sheets of 5/8" ply sitting here calling out to be built into boxes.

Thx
