Cabin Country Pheasant Hunt

Jan. 11, 2004

Bill Saiff III, host of the popular PBS Cabin Country outdoors show, hosted a pheasant hunt for two Sedgwick Co Littles during his recent filming trip to Kansas. Littles Dana Schweers and Jonathan Sherman, accompanied by their Bigs, spent a cold but sunny morning tromping the fields east of El Dorado, KS hunting pheasants courtesy of Billy Jackson and Flint Hills Hunting Preserve. Steve Rist from Kansas Hunt Club and his son worked as guides for the hunt.

The morning hunt was a successful one with 6 roosters bagged between the two Littles. Bill used the opportunity to work with the Littles to sharpen their upland hunting skills. Prior to going to the field, Bill gave each a quick shooting lesson as they busted clays. Billy and Steve chimed in with bits of upland wisdom as the Littles watched a very competent Brittany work the fields and point the birds.

KS BBBS wants to thank Bill Saiff and Cabin Country, Billy Jackson of Flint Hills Hunting Preserve, and Steve Rist and the members of the Kansas Hunt Club for making this hunt possible. We need more volunteers like these to step up and Pass It On!

Plan on watching Cabin Country next fall...you'll probably see Dana and Jonathan having a great pheasant hunt!
