Women on the Wing Hunt

On September 7th, 2024 our chapter hosted 40 women at Delp's Hunting Grounds for a day full of hunting opportunities for women of all ages.

The women were treated to a two-hour guided upland bird hunt and seminars on trap shooting, handgun safety & shooting taught by NRA certified instructors.

Foundation Hunt

On September 13-15, 2024, Pheasants Forever Chapter 630 hosted 2 handicapped young people and their families at the Queenstown Hunt Club for our chapter’s 13th annual Foundation Hunt.

This year’s participants were Mia and Ethan, both teenagers confined to wheelchairs. But their handicap didn’t stop them from having a great time and fully participating in trapshooting, pheasant hunting, fishing, UTV riding, and horseback riding.

Sunday as we said good bye, we realized we had gained 2 new families to our Pheasant Forever family. We are truly blessed to have had the opportunity to spend the weekend with them.

Mentored Youth Hunt

The mentored hunts were held on October 12th, 2024 and October 9th, 2024. We had 80 local youth and 40 dog handlers participate in our hunts at State Game Land #44 in Elk County and State Game Land #330 in Clarion County. Each youth who participated first had to attend a safety day training session with their parent or guardian. Four lucky youths won shotguns.

8th Annual Veterans Hunt

The 2024 Veterans Hunt was held November 6th - 8th. The chapter hosted over 300 veterans, traveling from all over the country, to an upland bird hunt. Veterans represented wars and conflicts from as early as World War II up to those still serving in the Armed Forces. The Veterans received a 2 hour guided upland bird hunt, ammo, t-shirt, hat, and a catered meal. Each day some lucky Veterans won amazing door prizes, including a shotgun.

We are the largest Veterans hunt in the Country, and it is all possible with the generous donations we receive, and all the hard work of our volunteers. This event is free to all whom attend and greatly appreciated by the Veterans. A huge shout out to John Delp for the use of his facility to make this event possible.

Last hunt of the Year

Our chapter's last hunt of 2024 was a thank you hunt at Delp's Hunting Ground, for the Redbank Valley Outdoor Club and other local youth that helped with our Veterans Hunt. The work these young men and women do for our chapter is incredible. They put in long days stocking and cleaning birds at several of our chapter hunts. They make the days so much easier with everything they do for us. After the guided hunt they were treated to a pizza lunch.

We cannot say thank you enough to all our volunteers, sponsors and donors!
