Hullett AGM and Youth Day

The Friends of Hullett will be holding their Annual General Members meeting and Youth Day on Saturday May 24, 2008 at the Hullett office. We have finalized the details and have a variety of high quality events for youth and adults alike. These include a pointer and retriever dog demonstration, pellet gun range, fur kit and trapping display, pheasant release, Ken Capling, the Ontario moose calling champion, an interperitive hike and a bbq lunch. Check back for the schedule of the day.

The meeting portion of the day gives members a great chance to see what projects were completed in 2007 and what is lined up for 2008 and beyond. It also gives members a chance to express their opinions and concerns and vote on various items including new directors.

Everyone is welcome so pack up the kids and head to Hullett on May 24th from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.

The Hullett Prescribed Burn Program

The Friends of Hullett received funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation in the amount of $130,000 over two years, to facilitate the implementation of a local prescribed burn program. These funds will help to buy the equipment, training and resources needed for this program, which will be used within the Marsh and the surrounding community.

Thanks for a Great Youth Pheasant Hunt!

The Hullett Youth Pheasant Hunt for hunter apprentices on Saturday, December 1st, 2007 was a tremendous success. Thirty hunter apprentices with their mentors and over 100 people in total were on hand as 90 birds were released for the apprentice hunters to test and hone their skills. We have a full wrap up (news, notes and a wealth of pictures) of this event, enjoy!

We held 2 sessions - one in the morning and another in the afternoon. At the event, the youth apprentice hunters enjoyed an orientation and demonstration and then a presentation from one of Hullett's Conservation Officers. After a review of hunter & firearm safety, the young hunters participated in a guided, high quality pheasant hunt with an expertly trained hunting dog. A tutorial on proper field dressing, transporting and cooking of the harvested pheasants concluded the hunting portion of the day. At noon, everyone (save the pheasants) enjoyed a fine barbequed lunch. We thank everyone who participated, volunteered and took part, for making this an enjoyable and extremely successful event! We'll see you next year!
