Late Season Women on the Wing Hunt

The Central PA Chapter of Pheasants Forever hosted our first annual Women on the Wing Event in October.  The event was attended by six women.  For some of the participants, it was the first time that they handled a shotgun. 

Following up on the enthusiasm of some of the participants, Jamie, Cortney, and Monica were invited for a mid-January hunt at Pointer Haven Lodge. With temperatures in the teens, the hunters were eager to hunt some birds.

Along with my German Shorthaired Pointers, Oreo and Cookie, we set out for an action packed hunt.  The pheasants and the dog work did not disappoint the hunters.  The hunters demonstrated the skills they had acquired on the trap range this fall.  After the hunt, the birds were cleaned and processed for the table.  

Recruiting,  Retaining, and Re-Activating pheasant hunters is critical to the mission of the Central PA Chapter of Pheasants Forever.

2025 Youth Hunt

This year’s youth hunt was another success! The Chapter has introduced another batch of youngsters to the sport! The hunters, with the help of mentors and some very skilled bird dogs, were able to bag some birds. They also learned about the importance of habitat, and hunting safety! Enjoy some pictures from this year’s hunt!
