SEPTEMBER 22 PHEASANT HUNT FOR HUNTER EDUCATION STUDENTS AT LIMITS GAME FARM: Twenty-nine fortunate youth were treated to a pheasant hunt for stocked pheasants at the Limits Game Farm, north of Mesa, on Saturday, September 22nd. Eighteen students hunted in the morning and the other eleven hunted after lunch. Hunter Educations students, boys, girls, and four adult females from the Club's Hunter Education program participated. Thirty-nine students had originally registered for the hunt and twenty-nine showed up. Before the hunt each group traveled to the Connell Gun Club where they practiced shooting at clay pigeons. After they finished shooting they traveled to the Limits Game Farm. Before they hunted, the students were registered, participated in a safety lecture and discussion and were divided into four groups. Those who didn't have a shotgun were loaned one from a stock of shotguns provided by Clare Cranston. A coach assigned to each student and each group was provided with a dog handler with a bird dog. A minimum of three pheasants had been set out earlier for each youth. The students hunted behind the dog and dog handler. Two youth, each with their coach, were behind the dog handler. The other students and others, including an EMT and parents followed behind. As soon as a bird was located and flushed, one of the group of two shot at the bird. The other youth of the pair then rotated to the front and hunted until they each had a shot at a bird. The next pair then rotated to the front and took their turn. They continued shooting and rotating until all the birds were flushed. The second group of youth showed up later in the morning after they finished shooting clay pigeons at the Connell Gun Club. Both groups, their parents, the coaches, dog handlers and other helpers then retired to the 'barn' where two rows of tables had been set up. All were then treated to a lunch consisting of barbecued Tri-Tip beef steak, bargecued chicken breasts and thighs, Ditch Oven baked beans (prepared by Dave Myers), potato chips and bottled water or soft drinks. Everyone was able to go through the serving line until they were full. The food was great. After lunch the second group participated in a safety lecture and discussion and were divided into two groups. Those who didn't have a shotgun were loaned one from the stock of shotguns. They were then divided into three groups and hunted in a similar manner as the morning hunters. Again, three pheasants for each youth had been set out earlier. The morning group did not fare as well as the afternoon group. The weather was clear and dry in the morning and the stocked pheasants were reluctant to flush and as a result the morning group had fewer shots than the afternoon goup which hunted in cloudy, muggy weather. The afternoon group flushed and harvested many birds including some of the birds stocked in the morning. Successful hunters from both groups cleaned the harvested birds under the direction of Bill Moulds. Some of the students, especially one young lady, were very adept at cleaning the birds while some of the others had to struggle to finish the job. Before they went home, each youth received a beautiful engreaved golden lock blade knife in a wooden presentation box as a memento of the hunt, courtesy of the Ringold Pheasants Forever Club and Limits Game Farm. Sponsors of the Pheasant Shoot were: Limits Game Farm, Ringold Pheasants Forever and the Richland Rod and Gun Club. The C&W Game Farm in Benton City donated some of the pheasants utilized in the pheasant hunt. The Tri-TIp beef and chicken barbecued for the luncheon were purchased from Frontier Foods at a reduced price. J.C.'s Mesa Grocery Store donated bottled water, soda pop and ice for the luncheon. Hunter Education instructor Don Board was in charge of the actual hunt. Volunteers and guests that helped were: Dave, Pam and Doug Piovesan, Clare Cranston, Andrew Powers, Howard Gardner, Eddie Manthose, Dale Schielke, Don Hartshorn, Bob Kolowith, Randy Adkins, Duane Woolum, Todd Wollum, Gene Van Liew, John Prather, Barry McEachen, Hugh McEachen, Bill Moulds, Mike Bass, Howard Gar, Gary Scriven, Joe Pauly, Robert Escalero (Nacho) and Mark C Kimmel. Dave Myers, Dan Evans, Mike Estes, Tina Bernsen and Don Evanson (and their dogs) were the dog handlers. Special recognition is again due to Clare Cranston and Dave Piovesan who organized the event and solicited the many volunteers. Dave's wife Pam set up the serving line, kept us supplied with coffee and made sure all the forms etc were filled out. Robert Escalero (Nacho)  and Hugh McEachen were the barbecue cooks. It is obvious from the above list of names that a lot of people are needed to run this event, they all deserve a lot of thanks from all of us. This was the Hunter Education Students Pheasant Shoot for the year 2007. If all goes well this shoot will be reapeated in 2008.
