Present a
Pheasant Hunt for Women*
Saturday, 12/15/12
7:30 am
This workshop offers participants the opportunity for a quality, guided educational pheasant hunt. This hunt will be held at the scenic English Setter Club of America (ESCA) in Medford, Burlington County, NJ. The 350-acre semi-wild preserve is situated adjacent to the Medford Wildlife Management Area at the beginnings of the beautiful Pine Barrens. ESCA features of combination of diverse habitats, which provide excellent cover for game birds.
Participants will be teamed with an experienced instructor and dog handler and will have ample opportunity to flush birds.
The day will start with continental breakfast and bird-hunting education. We’ll take some practice shots at the 5-station trap range with an experienced competitive shooter, form teams and get to the hunt! After the hunt we’ll have a lunch prepared by our Camp Chef at our rustic clubhouse. Later on we’ll clean and dress the birds.
