Southeast Ohio Pheasants Forever is committed to planting wildlife habitat in four counties and encouraging young hunters to safely enjoy hunting traditions. In 2007, they cost-shared over 300 acres of new habitat, held their largest youth event introducing over 75 children to pheasant hunting through four youth hunts, and hosted their fifth annual banquet to help finance these conservation efforts. The youth hunts require completion of hunter safety training and review safety rules while using hunting dogs to point and retrieve birds and teaching children how to clean birds.
