Friends of Poynette Game Farm - Learn to Hunt Pheasants
This is another reminder about 4 Learn to Hunt pheasant programs sponsored by the Friends of Poynette Game Farm (FPGF) in cooperation with the Columbia County Chapter of Pheasants Forever. The programs promote pheasant hunting as a family activity and focus on the camaraderie of the hunt, with less focus on the harvest of game. The programs include:
- Classroom instruction on pheasant biology and management, firearm safety, hunting rules and regulations, hunting equipment, and bird dogs.
- Dog training demonstrations
- Trap shooting
- Tours of the Poynette Game Farm
- Mentored pheasant hunt
- Pheasant cleaning and food preparation
The LTH programs are FREE ($10 refundable registration fee) and overnight lodging is provided in the MacKenzie Center dorms. ALL members of the family are encouraged to attend. A FPGF LTH application is attached and more information can be found at www.friendsofwihunting.org. FPGF was also featured in an article in the August edition of the Natural Resources magazine. Applications should be received by August 24, 2012. Please have anyone interested in being a mentor contact me directly. Thank you.
