I volunteered to help and received a call today telling me it has been cancelled.

Dangit. That's what I was afraid of.
Not enough kids participating is what I heard was going to cancel it. That's a sad state of affairs.

That's too bad. I want to know why they did not send a notification to the people on their email list, never saw a thing about it. :(

A friend told me they posted it somewhere just a few days ago. Seems as though that's likely the problem. I posted it on here a couple times yesterday as sort of a hail mary to see if enough kids would get signed up last minute to keep it alive. Apparently it wasn't enough.I volunteered to help and received a call today telling me it has been cancelled.

This is one disadvantage of living where I do as going to things like this are a much bigger production than average. Unfortunately, my son has not yet been interested in shooting at flying things.

It is disappointing. I was looking forward to helping out the yoots. I think the problem was not enough marketing.
Carl
I'd think that they would have had it plastered all over Facebook, the internet in general, HuntWA....I mean... I'm pretty sure this forum is not a huge secret to the rest of the WA hunting community. I wish folks would use it more to get stuff like this out there and known about.

yup :yeah: Use it to your advantage WDFW!
the first I saw it on the WDFW FB page was Tue or Wed :bash:
They should have been advertising at all the Hunter Ed courses, sporting stores, www......, etc
I feel bad for the kids that actually signed up for it

Great chance for the kids to learn valuable things and hunt pheasant.

I just found out the Sept. 17-18 clinic and hunt are still on in Sunnyside (Yakima)! And there is room left. :tup:

That's tomorrow and sunday.
Hmm, the 17 and 18. Opening turkey, youth duck, youth goose, youth upland, middle of archery. And you wonder why nobody wants to go shoot farmed birds? Think this should have been planned a little better.
Lots of hunting starts all at the same time this time of year. We can't have it all I guess.

Poor, Poor planning. Sounds like they had everything set up except getting the word out before hand.
PPPPPPP
:bash: :sry:
Pre-Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.

I think asmith makes a good point. Why couldn't this have been done before the regular seasons? According to another post, game farm birds can be shot out of the regular season.

Here's a link if anyone can make it.

If you're not turkey hunting, youth duck hunting, youth goose hunting, youth upland hunting, or archery hunting. :chuckle:

I don't disagree with that thinking. I think a lot of things could have been done differently with this event.
Is anyone on here directly involved with Yakima Pheasants Forever??
