Young Women Go on WITO Upland Hunt in Honor of Richard Snow

Six young women from King George County were fortunate enough to be selected to go an upland bird hunt at Rose Hill Game Preserve in Stevensburg, Virginia just outside of Culpeper. This was a Women in the Outdoors event for the Rapphannock Spurs Chapter of NWTF in Fredericksburg and funded by memorial contributions from two years ago by people that loved Richard Snow.
Richard was a down to earth realtor in King George who served his clients with class, professionalism, and honesty. Richard loved to hunt and fish and spent time in the duck blind with his daughter Clara. We often traded hunting stories and photos over the years. The Snow family thought it would be fitting to have the funds go towards some young ladies learning to hunt and enjoying the outdoors like Clara did with her father. I miss Richard and the emails and photos and I think he would be proud to know that those that loved him contributed to others making memories outdoors! Lynne, Morgan, Hannah, Rebecca, Ava, and Addyson were selected to go to the hunt and they all were paired with a guide and a pointer to go hunt pheasants and chukar. Matt, Kathy, Brian, and Travis did not disappoint. Together with their four legged partners, they led the girls on a memorable hunt while some parents and grandparents tagged along to observe.
The girls first warmed up on clays down at the five stand station. I highly recommend an event with friends shooting a friendly round of five stand if you have not done so. The practices we held prior to going out to Rose Hill were helpful, but the warm up eased some nerves and jitters before the young women headed to the field. The weather was warm and the dogs worked very hard to find birds, and find birds they did. Every young lady was able to take at least one bird. Some harvested several birds. The girls were then able to get photos and learn how to clean their own birds.
A huge thanks goes out to those that contributed to the hunt in honor of Richard Snow and his family, to Matt, Kathy, Brian and Travis, as well as the parents that supported the young people. Rose Hill, you all are awesome and really helped us out by hosting the Women in the Outdoors event!
