Chisholm Trail Safari Club Training Hunt, 9/22

September 22, 2004

Members of the Chisholm Trail Chapter of Safari Club International hosted a training hunt for Bigs and Littles who passed their Hunters Education class the previous weekend. They were joined by hunter education instructors who had taught the class for the Littles. The goal was to give the Bigs and Littles an opportunity to put their safety training to work in the field.

The Littles spent time shooting clay targets before being taken to the field, 2 and 3 at a time, for a controlled hunt. Volunteer Carl Conley served as Hunt Master and worked the dogs. Steve Brodie, local Safari Club President, and Mike Knotts, Master Hunters Ed instructor worked with each of the Littles as they hunted quail.

Everyone enjoyed the evening hunt and is looking forward to the fall season!

Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters wishes to thank all of the volunteers that made the hunt a successful one. Thanks also go to the Armour Foundation for allowing us to hunt their property and to Mike and Jan Novy from Circle JM Game Birds for donating the quail. Thanks for helping us Pass It On!
