Ranch hosts Youth Pheasant Hunt
March
9, 2008, Ringneck Ranch, Tipton, KS.
Alan Waggonner and the great folks at Ringneck Ranch hosted a youth
pheasant hunt on March 9th for kids in the Pass It On - Outdoor
Mentors Program. 28 young hunters from Concordia, Hutchinson, Kansas
City and Wichita spent a great day hunting pheasants with guides
and mentors showing them the way.
For
several of the youths, it was their first opportunity to hunt, having
only recently completed their hunter education class. The hunters
were divided into 2 groups, with one group hunting in the morning
and the other hunting in the afternoon. The set-up worked out perfectly
as we were able to take the new hunters and spend time with them
on the 5-stand range, familiarizing them with the guns they would
be hunting with that afternoon and working on their shooting skills
prior to going afield.
We
can't thank the folks at Ringneck Ranch enough for the fantastic
opportunity they provided for these kids. Known as one of the premiere
pheasant hunting destinations in Kansas, Ringneck Ranch showed all
of those attending how they earned that reputation. The hunt was
well managed for the kids, with everyone getting a shot at a bird.
The weather couldn't have been better. And the lunch they served
was finest kind.
