Habitat and Wingshooting Adventure for Colorado State University Students – April 18, 2026
On April 18, 2026, Greater Denver Pheasants Forever proudly hosted the 2nd Annual Habitat and Wingshooting Adventure for students from Colorado State University. The event focused on introducing students to upland hunting traditions, wildlife habitat conservation, and safe firearm practices in a hands-on outdoor setting.
Students participated in safety instruction covering responsible gun handling both on the range and in the field, helping build confidence and awareness before heading into activities. The day also included clay target shooting sessions, giving participants the opportunity to improve their shooting skills and experience the excitement of wingshooting in a controlled environment.
One of the highlights of the event was the field dog demonstrations, where students were able to watch skilled hunting dogs work in real hunting scenarios while learning about the important role dogs play in upland bird hunting. Events like these help connect the next generation to conservation, outdoor recreation, and the traditions that make upland hunting such a meaningful experience.
Live Bird Hunt for Colorado State University Students – April 11, 2026
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.

February 5 – 4-H Event
Our chapter was invited by a 4-H Club to make a presentation in Wheat Ridge on February 5, 2026. This Club attracts youngsters from the metro area because it has a focus on shooting. Chris and Dean discussed the PF organization, mission, habitat focus, types of firearms, ammunition, gun safety, dogs and hunting tactics.
Chris brought his pointing Lab and Dean brought his German Shorthair Pointer. Both dogs were instant celebrities with everyone and were showered with affection.
There were lots of questions. Some were unique. For example, could a BB gun be set up to fire like a machine gun? Some of the younger folks had active imaginations!
