Girls Gone Bird Hunting

3/26/2016

I had the pleasure of taking my daughters on their first upland bird hunt today. We had a blast--no pun intended-- and knocked down a good number of chukar. My youth outdoor club got to go a few weeks ago and I knew I had to take my own kids. Our guide was top notch at Rose Hill Game Preserve. I have hunted this place a number of times and have never felt like I had a bad experience. The girls shot well. Check out the photos...

King George Youth OUtdoor Club Goes Wingshooting

Today I was able to take seven youth from my outdoor club on a bird hunt. For almost all of these youth, it was their first bird hunt ever. For some, it was their first hunt ever. National Wild Turkey Federal-Rappahannock Spurs chapter, Rose Hill Game Preserve, Big Dog Outfitters in King George, and Bass Pro Shops in Ashland, made this event possible.
The youth got some practice in at our place a few times prior to going hunting. It paid off. Their sense of gun safety was welcomed by the guides who were understandably apprehensive at first. EVERY youth got at least one bird. Many of them got two. We started with a warm up at the clays range and then broke into teams of two with an adult mentoring the kids. The guides were awesome and did their very best to give the kids the best chance they could to get a bird. I was very impressed with the youth.
Thanks to NWTF, and in particular, Women in the Outdoors Coordinator, Julie Abel, Rose Hill and their guides, Big Dog Outfitters for ammo and clays, Bass Pro Shops and the parents for allowing and supporting us!
