End of Season Upland Hunt

Jan. 25, 2003 near Cheney Lake

Eleven Littles, along with volunteers from Quail Unlimited and Young Hunter Safety, Inc. traveled to a field just south of Cheney Lake to enjoy a morning of quail hunting. For seven of the Littles, this was their first hunt ever!

QU & YHSI volunteers took special care insuring that all of the Littles remembered their hunter safety instruction (the new hunters had passed their hunter safety course the previous weekend). Thanks to Circle JM Game Farms for donating 50 quail for the hunt. The birds were scattered in the field and the Littles followed the dogs as they hunted 'em up! Once the dogs went on point, one Little was given a shell to load, and then stepped forward to flush the bird, all the time accompanied by his Big/volunteer.

While some Littles were in the field, the others received shooting instruction to sharpen their wingshooting skills. KDWP loaned BBBS an automatic trap that was kept busy throughout the morning throwing clays for the Littles to practice on.

Thanks go to QU & YHSI for providing volunteers for the event, to KDWP for loaning us the trap and providing boxes of clays, and to Circle JM Game Farm for donating the quail!

For seven of the Littles, this was their first hunt and for four of those, it was their first time shooting a shotgun. A bit of time shooting clays helped to sharpen their aim!
