OPERATION UPLAND PHEASANT HUNT & SPORTING CLAY SHOOT

March 24
Le Sueur, MN

Scott County Pheasants Forever is hosting their 4^th Annual Military Appreciation Event 'Operation Upland Pheasant Hunt & Sporting Clay Shoot' for local & outstate Minnesota Soldiers on Saturday, March 24, 2012 at the Caribou Gun Club & Hunting Preserve in Le Sueur, MN. OUPH provides these returning soldiers with an 'all-expense paid' day of upland pheasant hunting, sporting clays, lunch and camaraderie with fellow servicemen/women and outdoor enthusiasts. Since this event was launched in 2009, over 150+ soldiers have enjoyed a day afield and have been reacquainted with not only their passion of hunting, traditions...but the great outdoors and fellow tour of duty comrades.

"Minnesota troops have put their pheasant hunting trips on hold while serving our country abroad and these men and women have made extreme sacrifices for us by protecting our freedoms, our country and our main goal is giving them a well-deserved day afield…bottom line – this day is about them."
