Date set for Annual Pheasants Forever Youth Mentor Hunt.

Saturday October 13th the Webster County Chapter of Pheasants Forever will hold their Fourth annual Youth Mentor hunt. This will be one of approximately 50 Youth mentor events that Nebraska chapters of Pheasants Forever will be conducting this fall across the state of Nebraska. The hunt is limited to 12 to 14 youth in the 12 to 15 year old age group who have successfully completed their hunter safety course and have not previously attended a youth mentor hunt.
The event will start at the Rep Valley Trap shooting range near Rosemont beginning at 8 am, Saturday October 13th.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided on site for the youth and for the mentors.
Youth participating in the Pheasants Forever youth mentor hunt  will be given instructions in various hunting related topics such as dog training, hunter safety, archery, land owner appreciation, wild life conservation and blue rock shooting.
 Each youth participating will be given a hunting vest provided by the Webster Co. chapter of Pheasants Forever.  They will also be eligible for door prizes. 
Part of the program will include target shooting with 22 rifles. Also during  the day each youth hunter will participate in an actual live pheasant hunt with a mentor and a dog handler.  Youth hunters will be given instruction on cleaning their birds and will be able to take home the birds harvested.  The day should prove to be very rewarding and is designed to target those youth with a strong interest in hunting.
Special permission has been obtained from the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission to allow for hunting prior to the opening of the regular pheasant hunting season.
Activities are expected to conclude around 2:30 with a lunch prepared and served by volunteers from the local PF organization.
Advance registration for the event is required.  Jamie Reiman of Blue Hill is the president of the Webster Co. chapter of Pheasants Forever. Other local members who will be assisting with the event include but not limited to Toby Alber, Dave Kohmetscher, Art Lienemann, Rocky Premer, Troy Schmitz, Bob Fontaine, Andy & Vicki Alber .
Pheasant Forever chapters and Nebraska Game and Parks commission have been combining their efforts to provide Youth mentor hunts since 1996.
