not a lot of writing today. Just some really good pictures and video of Owen and his first ever Pheasant hunt. I have spoke previously about Owen, and his journey to getting up his courage to shoot his shotgun. Well you add, Mr. Hamer, some other experienced hunters, a few early teenage girls, and Pheasants Forever to the mix and all the sudden he is shooting a youth Remington 1187 20 gauge! I guess a little properly applied peer pressure isn't all bad, after all.
The local chapter of Pheasants forever put on a youth hunt at Lake Hill hunt club this morning. 10-15 boys and girls (more girls than boys) came out for the festivities. It was a great time, and a great outreach to get more youth involved in outdoor activities and specifically hunting. Coffee, donuts, and orange juice was served for breakfast. Pizza delivered in for lunch, we had inexperienced hunters, hard working dogs, experienced guides and hard flying birds..... A recipe for a great day, and it did not disappoint.
A special thanks to Pheasants Forever, Jim Hamer, and the Lake Hill private hunt club for putting on this event, and making my kids weekend!
Jim Hamer, our trainer and member of Lake Hill was Owens guide. He used our dog Remi, who he trains, to guide for Owen in this hunt. Check out the pictures and video, and you will see some memories that will last Owen and I a lifetime.
Sorry for the video quality - The Go Pro is working great, but the editor hasn't figured out how to shorten the videos so they are small enough for the site. I will work on that, for the moment, its posted the best I could do.
I hope you enjoy! Owen and I sure did!
A great Organization - Always looking for members!
Happy Guide, Happy Dog, Happy Boy!
