BRIGHAM CITY, UT - Dogs will point and pheasants will fly at an upcoming Ladies Pheasant Hunt. Sponsored by the Division of Wildlife Resources "Becoming an Outdoors Woman" program, the hunt will be held Oct. 28 at the Let the Good Times Fly pheasant outfitter in White Valley north of Brigham City.
The hunt is limited to the first 15 women who register by Oct. 20. The cost to participate is $107. Women can register, or receive more information, by calling Sherry Gittins at (801) 969-1564 in the evenings.
"If you've always wanted to give pheasant hunting a try, or you've been pheasant hunting before and just want to have a great experience, you won't want to miss this hunt," says Jill West, volunteer program coordinator for the DWR.
"Five professional guides with trained hunting dogs will lead the group, and plenty of pheasants will be available."
Because Let the Good Times Fly is a private hunting outfitter that supplies its own birds, a hunting license is not required to participate.
For safety reasons, participants must wear something orange.
Women must also bring a shotgun and shotgun shells with number 6 shot (lead-free shot is preferred, but is not required).
The day will begin with a short hunting dog demonstration, after which Kati Jo Rhodes, co-owner of Let the Good Times Fly, will share with the women how she got involved in upland game hunting.
After the presentation, the group of 15 women will go afield. Each woman can take up to three birds, and lunch will be provided after the hunt.

I am a new hunter with a new english setter. We will both be novices this season 2010. I would love to know how to hookup with others for pheasant and grouse hunting. Any guidance would be wonderful. Thank you. Julie
