About this Event:
The youth pheasant program is designed to provide young hunters with specialized pheasant hunting training and instruction, as well as reinforce what they learned in Basic Hunter Education. Young hunters will have the opportunity to practice firearms safety, develop shooting skills, and participate in a special pheasant hunt under the guidance of a safe, experienced adult hunter. This course, held by League of Essex County Sportsman, and the location of the seminar is Danvers Fish and Game. This program is more than just a day in the field pheasant hunting and is divided into multiple parts, including hands-on instruction in shotgun shooting fundamentals, a pheasant seminar, and a mentored pheasant hunt. There will be a practice session September 10th and the seminar will be on September 17th. The hunt will be Saturday September 21st. Participants are encouraged to attend as many range days as possible but are only required to attend one range day and both seminar days.
