Mentor Hunt
2026 Mentor Hunt
Sioux Prairie Pheasants Forever partners with Sioux County Conservation Board and Rock Valley Gun Club on this day to give 12-15 year old Iowa residents, who have passed their hunter education course, a great pheasant hunt experience! The day starts with breakfast and a quick review of hunter safety and trap shooting. We pair youth with a mentor and hunting dog. Youth and mentor travel in groups to local hunting areas, both public and private, for the morning. Following the hunt, youth and mentors return to the Rock Valley Gun Club for lunch. Only a limited number will be taken so you must pre-register, registration will open approximately two months prior to event.
Pheasants Forever mentored pheasant hunts are the ideal way to introduce kids and teens to hunting, as experienced volunteer hunters from Pheasants Forever coach youth on the importance of firearm safety, wildlife habitat and hunting technique.
Every youth who attends our mentor hunt gets a free Ringneck PF membership courtesy of Sioux Prairie PF!
2025 Mentor Hunt
Sioux Prairie PF's 2025 Youth Hunt was a resounding success. Thanks to all of our patrons for supporting our youth programming in various ways!
The annual Youth Mentor Pheasant Hunt was held at the Rock Valley Gun Club Oct 18th. 19 kids and 23 volunteers participated, with 8 roosters harvested. Sioux Prairie Pheasants Forever, Sioux County Conservation Board, Rock Valley Gun Club are the sponsors. Thank you to Freedom's Echo Taxidermy for donating a taxidermy session to a youth. Thank you to all involved, including those landowners who offer their land to these youth each year. A Pheasants Forever Ringneck Youth Membership is also included in the participation of this event.
Congratulations to all of the youth on handling themselves well during the event. This is the 25th year that we have held this program. Once again, this event would not be possible without the generous donations of our sponsors and the myriad of volunteers that offer their time and support. Thank you for investing in the outdoors and in our next generation of outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen!
See you next year!
