I don’t know about you, but so much of the hunt experience is what happens before and after, and even during the hunt there are so many things that are memorable that don’t involve shooting. So, I thought I’d share some fond memories from a couple years back when I was master of ceremonies at the Governor’s Invitational Pheasant Hunt in South Dakota.
One lesson learned: put a gun in their hands, dogs on the ground, and most people are pretty tolerable, including Ted Turner and the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Permanent Ambassador to the United Nations for the Republic of Iraq.
