27 kids age 12 to 16 took part in the youth pheasant hunt at Bull Creek's club grounds on October 9th. 60 pheasants, donated by the Pennsylvania Game commission as part of the state youth hunting program, were stocked, 30 early morning and 30 prior to the second group going out. A hunting safety course was presented prior to the hunt with live pheasants used to help the kids identify their targets and distinguish between a male and female. 4 hunting dogs belonging to members were used throughout the day giving most of the kids their first experience upland hunting over a dog. 18 pheasants were taken by the first two groups. Many members came out to help and make the event a tremendous success for all 27 kids, even if they went home empty handed. This was a day memories are made from!
