The Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners held its annual Pheasant Hunt fundraiser at Giberson Farms & Preserve in Pemberton Twp., NJ on Saturday February 29th, fielding (30) pheasant hunters in total. Two sold-out sessions (morning & afternoon) utilizing all 3 available fields were needed for our 6 squads.
Sign-in started at 7:15am, and each hunter received their Gun For Hire goody bag loaded with all sorts of swag. Each 5-person squad received 25 stocked pheasants, and an expert guide/handler with trained bird dogs. The stiff wind was a challenge and thanks to the guides & their dogs, our hunters were up to the task, with everyone sharing the bounty. Breasted by Giberson's staff while-you-wait, your game is cleaned, rinsed & zip-locked ready for transport.
As the morning crew comes in from the fields and the afternoon squads start arriving we hold our special fundraising luncheon featuring Giberson's delicious hot dogs & fixin's along with Hog Hunt pork roast supplied by CNJFO Vice President Dave "Rosey" Rosenthal. As an added bonus this year, fellow Op-Ed writer & CNJFO member Lee Ollivier brought a marvelous slow-smoked pork & Sweet Baby Ray's to everyone's enjoyment. Both men went home with EMPTY crock pots!
During the luncheon we held the prize raffles for the great gifts donated by our sponsors. Platinum sponsors Henry Repeating Arms, NRA-ILA, SAF, and Gun For Hire, together with silver sponsor Speedwell Targets made sure our hunters were all well taken care of. CNJFO kicked-in some outerwear, D-Lead wipes, and some "Charlie-the-Perp" paper targets printed by Speedwell.
Highlights included seeing fathers & sons hunt side-by-side, with several new hunters being mentored by fellow squad members & our guides. 16 year old USPSA Grand Master static steel champion Emily Cutts, from Team TandemKross, attended as a guest of Anthony Mills, who was unable to attend. Cutts, who brought along her father Doug (he supplied most of these images), harvested her first pheasants with us using a 20 ga. pump. A beautiful cockbird (male ring neck pheasant) taken deep in the woods where beginners usually come up empty, is worthy of mounting!
Additional highlights include our very own Communications Director & newly elected Trustee, Theresa Inacker, learning how to flush her own pheasants. Theresa & her Benelli are a force to be reckoned with. CNJFO Treasurer Jack Pyle and newly-elected President Dan Grdovic helped Hunt Chairman Rosenthal run the raffles & keep things organized. Grdovic also attended the Predators Hunters' meeting later that evening. Everyone had a great, safe time and said they want to do it again next year!
CNJFO Pheasant Hunt Chair Dave Rosenthal summed up why the Coalition runs events such as this. "CNJFO is proud to be the "bridge" between the 2nd Amendment & hunting. 2A Patriots get to experience the thrill of the hunt and make great role models for hunters to follow. Each side of the equation gains education & experience about the other in a "team-building" format, and TOGETHER provide a more unified voice for gun ownership in the Communist People's Republic of New Jerseystan. Thanks for being a part of our special day!"
