MONROE — Green County 4-H Shooting Sports recently received a $200 donation from the Green County Coyote Hunters Club to help support 4-H shooting sports programs. The Green County Coyote Hunters Club has a mission to control predator populations by hunting coyotes and fox with the aid of dogs; to promote safety, fellowship and good sportsmanship and to cooperate with other organizations that share these objectives. The Green County Coyote Hunters Club donated the funds to support the youth education 4-H provides through the 4-H Shooting Sports programs.
Green County 4-H Shooting Sports offers workshops in the disciplines of shotgun, air rifle, air pistol, .22 rifle, .22 pistol, muzzle loading and archery. Youth learn about the safe and responsible use of firearms and archery equipment, along with the concepts and issues of wildlife ecology, natural resource management and ethical behavior.
