The crown, however, remains white.</p> <p><strong>location</strong>: Caswell County, N.C.<br /><strong>issue: </strong>April 2008</p> Erika Larsen Thu, 15 Jan 2009 14:20:32 -0500 Online Editors 1001318312 at http://www.fieldandstream.com http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/fieldandstream/kentucky/2008/02/untitled-image-2961 <img src="/files/imagecache/photo-carousel/legacy/1000238102.jpg" alt="" title="" class="imagecache imagecache-photo-carousel" /><!--paging_filter--> Erika Larsen http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/fieldandstream/kentucky/2008/02/untitled-image-2961#comments Wed, 13 Feb 2008 09:44:55 -0500 fieldandstream-editor 1000238102 at http://www.fieldandstream.com http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/fieldandstream/kentucky/2008/02/untitled-image-2692 <div class="protected-image"><div style="position: absolute; width: 125px; height: 125px;"></div><img src="/files/imagecache/photo-carousel/legacy/1000237166.jpg" alt="" title="" width="125" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-photo-carousel" /></div><!--paging_filter--> Erika Larsen http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/fieldandstream/kentucky/2008/02/untitled-image-2692#comments Wed, 13 Feb 2008 09:40:06 -0500 fieldandstream-editor 1000237166 at http://www.fieldandstream.com http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/fieldandstream/kentucky/2008/02/bthe-united-sportsmens-youth-foundationbbr-freeport-ill-pthe- <div class="protected-image"><div style="position: absolute; width: 125px; height: 125px;"></div><img src="/files/imagecache/photo-carousel/legacy/1000237165.jpg" alt="" title="" width="125" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-photo-carousel" /></div><!--paging_filter--><p>The United Sportsmen's Youth Foundation<br /> Freeport, Ill. </p><p>The United Sportsmen's Youth Foundation (usyf.com), based in Freeport, Ill., provides children with hunting opportunities and aims to get them excited about the outdoors.
