Pheasant Hunting Training

October 11, 2003

Billy Jackson of Flint Hills Hunting Preserve hosted ten Littles for a morning pheasant hunt on his controlled shooting area. With volunteers from the local Quail Unlimited chapter assisting, Littles were treated to a controlled hunt, to give them a feel for how a hunt for wild pheasants might go. QU members brought their bird dogs, KDWP furnished the firearms, and everyone had a great morning!

Taking 3-4 hunters at a time into the field, along with either their Big Brother or a volunteer Big for the Day, Billy was able to show the Littles how a pheasant hunt would be run. All of the Littles participating managed to bring home a bird!

While some of the hunters were in the field, the remaining hunters were given shooting instruction, using an automatic trap and targets provided by KDWP. It wasn't long before some of the hunters were able to not only consistently break the target, but also break a piece of the target with a second shot.

Billy complimented all of the hunters on their conduct in the field. It seems everyone paid close attention in their hunters education class and kept their firearms always pointed in a safe direction and kept their shots in their own zone of fire. Congratulations!
