Many pheasant hunters in Western Canada and beyond will remember with great joy the Ring neck classic / Winchester classic events put on by the Great Canadian pheasant company in Brooks . These generally included one day of sporting clay's and one day of hunting , or lately just the two days of hunting.
I am interested in finding out how many of you would be Seriously interested in attending a event like that close to Edmonton? For those of you who are unfamiliar with the format I will roughly outline below. Please respond to the poll along with additional comments for your "perfect event" including dates , ideas, format etc.
Clays/ feather event - 25 teams of 6 people per team (3 dogs working max at a time)
Thursday-
12 noon - 4 pm registration and open sporting clays course
6 pm - Welcome banquet,silent auction, dinner, door prizes, drinks.
Friday - Sporting Clays-
25 stations - 4 shots per station
lunch provided
Dinner banquet - Day 1 totals ( based on true or averaged totals) , Land / hunting property auction, Calcutta auction (betting on winning team), Guides and marshalls introduction / review of hunt rules .
Saturday- Live hunt-
Marshall to pick up 50 birds meet at designated property
Birds released with team - 8 hours of hunting allowed .
Awards Ceremony - Dinner , team totals, Calcutta results , prizes awarded , drinks and dance .
Some interesting ideas were to release a equal number of hens and cocks with no "off limit" birds, continuing the "golden band bird", etc .
look forward to hearing from you
