Youth Fun Day at Great Guns

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

More information coming soon.

Northern Colorado Chapter sponsors a "Youth Mentor Hunt". See below for previous Youth Hunt pictures and videos.

The day begins with a range and hunting safety lesson and the opportunity to bust some clays on a range. We then move to the fields for the hunts.

While PF volunteers plant pheasants, each youth hunter and his or her parent is paired off with a PF Mentor with a trained pointing dog. The hunts are successful and most participants leave with big grins and a few birds for their first hunting experience.
 

13 Youth Hunts held 10/2009, 3/2009, 10/2008, 3/2008, 10/2007, 3/2007, 10/2006, 3/2006, 10/2005, 3/2005, 10/2004, 3/2004 and 10/2003 were all a great success! Thanks to all the youth, parents and volunteers that were able to participate. Special thanks to the Youth Hunt organizers, DOW and Great Guns Sporting (map).
