SCWF Youth Pheasant Hunt set

The annual Stutsman County Wildlife Federation Youth Pheasant Hunt will be Oct. 28.

The hunt is open to youth 16 and under who have their hunter-safety certifications. The event is free and will be limited to 20 hunters. An additional 100 pheasant roosters will be released after the youth hunt on land open to public hunting and 150 pheasant hens have been reserved for spring release. Contact Kenneth Anderson at 701-489-3581 or 701-320-3318 to sign up.

The club voted to donate $200 to Twist of Fate. Twist of Fate is a volunteer organization that sets up an annual archery hunt for physically challenged individuals. See its website for more information www.twistoffatend.org.

The Outdoor 3D Archery Shoot was held in August. The number of participants was down this year, but there were 65 first-time shooters.

SCWF sponsored seven youth — Tyra Baumgartner, Breckin Braun, Cheyanne Elsner, Morgan Harr, Andrea Helmquist, Brian Opsahl and Kolby Tangen — to attend the Annual North Dakota Wildlife Federation Youth Conservation Camp. A total of 51 youth attended the camp which was held in August. Camp activities included a trip to the Falkirk Mine, a fishing day and firearms familiarization. Scheels in Bismarck provided tackle and sponsored a fishing pro to help with the fishing day.

The club land has been re-enrolled in CRP for native planting with a pollinator plot. SCWF will need to order seed, pay to have it planted and order trees to be planted next fall.

The SCWF Annual Banquet will be held Oct. 26 at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 519 First Ave. S. Jamestown. Social hour is at 5:30 p.m., dinner at 7. Ten gun raffle tickets are now available.

The next SCWF meeting will be at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Bunker. Find Stutsman County Wildlife Club on Facebook and “like” it for club updates and information.
