Sept. Youth hunt -- Wash. Co. Pheasants forever
We had our Pheasants Forever Youth /Mentor hunt in late September. We had 16 youth (14M & 2 F). This hunt is geared towards kids that do not have a chance to hunt upland game. They got to shoot blue rock, shoot 22s, learn how to ask permission, learned upland laws from the game warden, clean guns, locate downed birds without a dog, watch a dog demo, hunt phez over pointing dogs, clean pheasants, and eat lots of food !!! They all had a good time (kids & adults) and all the kids got shots at pheasants. For safety, the mentors control the shells and only give them 1 shell at a time At the end of the hunt all kids get an orange vest and hat from Pheasants Forever, Nebraska Game & Parks, and Boyt Harnass Co.

Here's 3 more pictures from the youth hunt (there were 365 pictures taken during this hunt). The kids each got a disc with all the pictures on it---I didn't think you wanted to see all 365, so I just attached a few :roll: .

You rock deseeker. I remember taking my nephew to desoto bnd for a youth hunt. My son will be next years batch.
My nephew was out yesturday, he served in the marines in afgan and iraq. He did see some nasty action, we shot a 30-30 to see if he wanted to go on a deer hunt. We might have to wait, he is expert but not quite ready to shoot something he said.
