Well, we've reached my favorite part of the the year. The youth pheasant training and hunt which my club sponsors.
I've been doing this for nearly 8 years now and every year is a success, I get to meet the up and coming youth and train them on safety and shooting skills. We do this for 6 weeks and the learning and skills capability from start to finish is amazing. We have kids that can't hit a target on day one, and six weeks later they are busting almost every clay.
On hunt day we prepare a big breakfast in the morning while the kids and mentors set out birds on our property. They then come back to eat, get paired with mentors and dogs and go have fun hunting.
This year.....and this group......will be awesome...... we have 12 total and 8 of them are young women. Its great to see the women are up and coming, and we've run thru the first week training and many of them are already good shooters with good form. Which means their dad and moms have worked with them already quite a bit, and took them shooting.
About a month til hunt day....its going to be fun working with these kids this year.
