20th Year of Conservation in Winnebago County

Youth Shoot a Huge Success

The Winnebago County Chapter Of Pheasants Forever with our good partner Plug And Pellet held a youth shoot August 7th and 14th at the Plug And Pellet trap range. We had well over 100 young people and women who participated in this year's event. Participants were able to learn gun safety, shooting at stationery targets, and shoot a round of trap guided by some of the top trap shooters in Northern Illinois. Lunch was provided for all and many smiling faces were observed. A big thanks goes out to our good partner Plug And Pellet for the use of their facility and the many volunteers they provide.

Winnebago County Pheasants Forever believes the future of conservation and our hunting heritage depends upon today's youth having the desire and opportunities to carry on the ethical traditions of this organization. At both the national and chapter level, Winnebago County Pheasants Forever is investing in sound programs enriched with events such as youth mentor hunts, conservation events and habitat projects.

Become a Winnebago County Pheasants Forever Ringneck

IT'S FREE / WCPF WILL PAY YOUR REGISTRATION

Youth are invited become a part of the PF Ringnecks Program, which is dedicated to introducing youth to hunting, shooting sports and outdoor conservation through youth events, education, community service and cooperation with both governmental and non-governmental partnerships. Through a variety of programs, youth gain knowledge, learn skills and develop a land ethic necessary to be responsible hunters and conservationists. As they grow up, they can in turn pass on the outdoor traditions of their youth to future generations. Contact us for details. davegrass@earthlink.net

Pheasants Forever is going Greener I would encourage all of you to use our website http://wcil.pheasantsforever.org. The reason we’re trying to do this is to cut down on as much paper as we possibly can. If we are truly going to be a green conservation group it makes sense we should try to save as much paper as possible. We are hoping people will feel comfortable receiving our newsletter electronically which will greatly reduce our costs and paper we need to use to contact all of you by mail. Stop here and see all the exciting activities we have planned for this year. Particularly check out our new youth page. This page will show the many events that we have planned for this year.
