Mentored Youth Hunts

Pheasant Forever Chapter 630 provides three separate youth hunts to introduce young people to pheasant hunting. All hunts last approximately two hours and include one-on-one interaction with a handler and dog. Each participant must attend a MANDATORY safety training day, regardless of previous attendance. A parent or guardian is required to accompany the youth during hunting and safety training.

State Game Land #44 safety day will be September 21, 2025 held at the Fox Township Sportsmen's Club, Kersey, PA. For more information, please contact Melissa Wehler 814-335-1585 or Grant Shaffer 814-389-2997 or email pfyouth630@gmail.com.

9th Annual Veterans Hunt

The 9th Annual Veterans Hunt is scheduled for November 5th, 6th & 7th 2025 at Delp's Hunting Grounds in New Bethlehem, PA. There is absolutely no cost to any veteran participating. This event is open to all veterans; however, we limit it to about 110 participants per day. We can accommodate all veterans, regardless of any physical limitations you may have. Since this hunt will be conducted on a private hunting ground, a hunting license/pheasant stamp is not required.



The application form is to be received no later than Saturday, October 11th, 2025. Only 330 participants will be selected from the pool of applications we receive. Preference will be given to those first-time applicants.

Five Pheasant Hunting Tips

These five pheasant hunting tips for beginners will get you started in the right direction.

Hunting with Young Children

Children develop at their own pace, so parents will know when it's right to introduce them to hunting. Start with short walks in nature when they are physically able.

Safety First

Pheasant hunting is enjoyable but requires responsibility. While it is generally safe, it can become dangerous if firearm safety guidelines are not followed.
