·       Turkey Hunting Clinic…..The Good, the Safe and the No More at Camp Alexander

Picture #1:  Two Mossy Oak Pro-staff members instruct a youth with a single shot shotgun with trap shooting.

Picture #2:  A young man uses a 20 gauge pump shotgun to shoot clay biodegradable targets.

Picture #3:  Some people may wonder what useful purpose could becoming a good shooter possibly have, for this young lady, Megan Hilbish, a senior at Emporia High School, shooting has earned her a full ride scholarship to Ohio State University!  Her college education will be paid for while participating on the Ohio State University shooting team.  Other kids will use their skills while hunting for the rest of their lives.

·       Phil will be joined in the studio by retired military and certified Kansas hunter education instructor, Tonya Carson to discuss the recent ban on shot gun shooting at Camp Alexander. Friday’s show will be “open spool” call ins will be appreciated.

WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

Kiosk greeting visitors to Camp Alexander

 

  

 

 

Camp as viewed by Phil and a visitor on April 29th and similar to what the Flint Hills Gobblers of the National Wild Turkey Federation faced when setting up on March 29th for the Turkey Hunting Clinic.

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following pictures show what was complained about after the fact with broken clays and shot wad casings, not BB casings, being picked up by an ESU camp staff.

TJ Orender and Prairie Land Partners smoothed out the “offending” ruts. They were lucky to get the 100% safe BB gun range out of the area after it rained before the event.  

 

  

 

These are shot shell casing that were picked up the day of the clinic by the Flint Hills Gobblers after the clinic and taken by a member that reloads shot shells to be used again.

 

 

Gib Rhodes greets children and families as they register for the 12th annual turkey hunting clinic. Camp’s bush hog setting at the door of the storm shelter where they entered made a convenient place to put the registration sign.  Camp Alexander will be missing these kids in the future and the valuable learning experience the Flint Hills Gobblers provided to youth and their families.

  

 

What’s in Outdoors Phil Taunton, 2002 KDWPT Kansas Hunter Education Instructor of the Year has been a presenter at all 12 clinics and was one of 7 Kansas Hunter Safety Instructors present giving one-on-one shotgun safety instruction at the 12th Annual NWTF Spring Turkey Hunting Clinic on March 30th at Camp Alexander.  Roger Carson, a retired fireman for the Emporia Fire Department and a 2 time KDWPT Order of the Buffalo winner was also on hand to man the range.

 

 

·       The JAKES Take Aim portable BB gun range is one of the safest ranges there is.  

Pulling this range out of the field was what left the offending ruts the Camp complained about.

Over 2,000 Kansas kids have used the range and not one incident.  Picture #1:  100% safe JAKES Take Aim range.   Picture #2:  Dalton Meyer, Emporia High Senior and NWTF scholarship winner, assists a young lady shoot a BB gun.  

Youth teaching youth the right way! Pass it on!

 

 

 

Kansas Hunter Education Instructor’s give one-on-one instruction to the youth at the 12th Annual NWTF Spring Turkey Hunting Clinic.  Pictures #1 & #2:  Kansas Hunter’s Education Instructor Scott Newton gives one-on-one assistance to youth doing shotgun shooting at still patterning targets during the clinic.  In 12 years of Turkey Hunting Clinics, no youth has been injured during shooting at the clinic or during their spring turkey hunts!

Cold Pack Pickled Fish

1 quart fish (rib meat from carp, white bass or drum fillets)….makes around 3 pints.

2 medium yellow onions

3 C Kosher Salt

1 C Port Wine (White but red will work)

1 C Sugar

2 C or more of White Vinegar

2 C Water

2 Tbsp Pickling Spice

 

Cut meat into pieces no thicker than 1/2”. In a bowl place a layer of salt, then place a layer of fish, then cover that layer with salt. So on and so forth until you have used all the fish and then cover it with salt. Set in fridge 24 hours. Next rinse all salt off fish and place in container covering fish with white vinegar. Set in fridge 24 hours. In a sauce pan, mix 1 C port wine, 1 C sugar, 2 C vinegar, 2 C water, and 2 Tbsp pickling spice and bring to a boil and remove from heat. Clean onions and slice. Once the solution you boiled has cooled, strain out spices. In pint jars create layers of onion and fish until you reach the neck of the jar.
