I took my daughter to the shooting day they had in August, GREAT group of folks I am sure you will have a great time .
They put on a great youth shooting event and I'll bet the youth pheasant hunt will be even better.

Lots of birds and not many kids  .  Dog did great, of the 40 birds that were released on our site he found 9  . If I could just get the kids to hit one every now and then  . I bought this dog for the kids to hunt behind (pointing lab) he points... I tell the kids... they get ready..... I send dog in, and bird flushes.....shots fired and bird flies away without being touched  . I remember now why when I was learning to hunt and HIT a pheasant my old dog would just catch them for me  at least then she got the bird she worked so hard to find.
 
     At the end of the hunt dog was tired, kids were beat, I was tired of walking/climbing through clear cut, birds were all safe, sun was coming out and we are all ready to go back tomorrow  .

My husband took two out siblings out one a first time hunter (girl) and the other (boy) has duck hunted.  They were able to get their first pheasants in two days worth of hunting.  Everyone was happy, dog, my husband, the kid's parents  and everyone who got to watch.  Pheasant dinner at our house tonight!!!! Now she wants to kill a deer.  She has already shot the rifle.  It is so much fun taking kids hunting.  More fun than hunting myself, the same rush!!!  I just wish I had more time.

Sounds like lots of folks had a great time  .
      I got up at 0600 today and watched the weather, saw all the bright yellow/orange over our hunting area and went back to bed  . It was raining hard enough from 0800-1300 that the kids were OK with not going but I think the dog was bummed  .
