WPD Dove Hunt, 9/1
September
1 , 2004
Wichita
Patrol West hosted a Dove Hunting Clinic on August 25th in preparation
for the opening of dove hunting season on September 1. Marc Murrell
from KDWP led an informative discussion about the do's and don'ts
of dove hunting and stressed to all of the participants the importance
of hunting safely and ethically.
After
the discussion, everyone went to the shooting stations at Michael
Murphy and Sons to practice their shooting skills to be ready for
those tricky doves! Marc Murrell and Mike Christensen, Kansas BBBS,
worked with Bigs and Littles alike to hone their skills in preparation
for the big hunt the following week.
This
is part of a 4-part series of events involving Wichita Patrol West.
Later in the month, they are hosting a dove hunt on September 1st,
when volunteer police officers will join with waiting Littles for
an evening dove hunt.
Special
thanks to Michael Murphy and Sons and Kansas Department of Wildlife
and Parks for hosting the Dove Hunting Clinic!

Marc Murrell discusses the in's and out's of dove hunting
with the Bigs and Littles, with special emphasis on safety
and ethics. |

Mike works with one of the Littles while the Big Brother
watches. |

Under
Marc's watchful eye, this Little was soon breaking targets
with regularity...and was deemed ready for the hunt! |

Marc
coaches one of the officers from Patrol West, who later commented,
"I've got to get me one of these!", refering to
the shotgun he had borrowed for the evening. |

Officers from WPD Patrol West, Bigs and Littles all
enjoyed a great evening together, learning about dove hunting
and readying their shooting skills for the upcoming hunt!
