Youth pheasant hunt in Rensselaer Falls Saturday

Posted

RENSSELAER FALLS -- The River Valley Gun Dog Club hosts its annual youth pheasant hunt Saturday, Sept. 26 at Basswood Lodge off County Rt. 14.

All hunting will take place on the Upper and Lower Lakes Wildlife Management Area. The hunt is limited to 40 young hunters between the ages of 12 to 15.

Pheasant hunting was one of the first hunting experiences for many of today's adult hunters, and this two-day hunt will help maintain this traditional introduction to hunting.

The excitement of a cackling rooster bursting out of the grassy cover will be an encounter a new hunter won't soon forget. Less crowded hunting conditions, experienced adult hunters and dog handlers, and mild weather combine to provide an exceptional upland hunting experience for junior hunters.

The hunts begin at 8 a.m.

The event is free and lunch is provided.

Individuals who would like to participate are asked to register with Larry Kring at 323-2107 or Ken Tynon at 528-7787.
