On April 11, Greater Denver Pheasants Forever had the opportunity to host a live bird hunt for students from Colorado State University. The hunt was conducted over experienced pointing dogs, giving students a true upland hunting experience and a chance to see the teamwork between hunters and dogs in the field.
The weather stayed cool throughout the day, and the birds were running, making conditions challenging at times. Even so, students were able to harvest birds while learning valuable hunting skills, safety practices, and conservation principles along the way.
Most importantly, the event provided an unforgettable hands-on outdoor experience for the students — many of whom gained a deeper appreciation for upland hunting traditions, wildlife habitat conservation, and the importance of preserving these opportunities for future generations. Greater Denver Pheasants Forever is proud to help introduce and mentor the next generation of conservationists and hunters.
