Week 1 topic has been put up for those that are interested.  It's more for reference now, and we will use it a lot in the future.

Thanks for all of the interest.  I hope this will be beneficial for all of us.

Feel free to ask questions.  I may not have all of the answers, but we will see what we can accomplish.

You won't get money rich in this hobby.  The richness is in the culture, the craft, the friends you meet along the way, and being able to call in a wary game animal with a call that you made with your own hands.

I'm sorry to say that I have to bow out of the instruction, but will follow it when I have time.  I just took a job and don't have internet where I'm living, so I'll be away from my computer for the most part these days.  Good luck to all those participating, and have fun!

Weeks 4 and 5 are posted.  Week 4 is about building a photo tent and Week 5 is a little on post processing your photo.
