OFAH Zone J Supports Youth Pheasant Hunts
Youth pheasant hunts were recently held at Hullet Marsh and Fingal Conservation Area. Numerous partners sponsored
and participated in the event for apprentice hunters this fall In total, approximately 60 apprentice hunters, with mentors,
participated in each event. The days were split up into 2 sessions, a morning and afternoon session. A complimentary
lunch and demonstrations were provided. Participating apprentice hunters received;
- Trap shoot and range safety
- Orientation to the day,
- A presentation from a Conservation Officer,
- A firearm safety refresher,
- Trap shoot on the day of the event,
- A high quality pheasant hunt with expertly trained dogs,
- proper field dressing, transporting and cooking tutorials,
- A lunch and dog demonstration
The events were held to
-
reinforce the safety and ethics of hunting,
-
introduce youth to a unique and rewarding experience,
-
nourish a passion for traditional outdoor recreation,
-
support the development of inexperienced hunters and their involvement in the Hunter Apprenticeship Safety
Program.
