Safety precautions were provided before the hunt and mentors went with each group to monitor safety and provide instruction to the youth.
The hunt took 2 1/2 hours. About 50 roosters were taken.
The hunt was on private land with permission granted by the landowner. Following the hunt, the youth present were given gifts and lunch. The parents, mentors and hunters provided an evaluation.
