If they needed more volunteers I would so be down helping especially if there were no cameras. I owe GoHunt and NDOW for the luck I have had with them and feel like somehow I need to pay them back. How do I volunteer? Can you guys put me in touch with the right people. I’m in Northern Cali but can travel.
