BBBS of Sumner County Dove Hunt

September 7 & 14, 2003

Sheriff Gilkey and the Sumner County Sheriff's Department hosted dove hunts for matched and waiting Littles on September 7th and 14th. Randy Wells, Kansas Cops for Kids Coordinator, and Gene McCauley, Kansas Pass It On Coordinator, joined Linda Pike, BBBS of Sumner County Executive Director and Sheriff Gilkey and his deputies for evening hunts on both days.

As you can see from the photos below, everyone enjoyed the outing. In addition to getting the Littles out to enjoy and evening dove hunt, it was a great opportunity for them to meet and spend some quality time with members of the Sumner Co. Sheriff's Department. As a result of the time spent with his Little, Sheriff Gilkey decided to sign up and become a Big Brother! Congratulations Sheriff...that's another lucky Little Brother who gets matched!

Here are some of the eager hunters, getting ready to head for their stations in the field for the evening dove hunt.

If you look close, you will see shells in the air as two of the hunters are taking aim at passing doves.

Gene McCauley is shown explaining the operation of the Remington 1100 youth model shotguns to the Littles prior to heading out for the hunt.
