This past July the chapter partnered with the Chad Herbst Memorial Youth Trapshooting Program on the William Bassett Foundation grounds near La Crosse by hosting a free live bird shoot for program participants.  The day began with an excellent pointing and retrieving demonstration by Gunnar and his trusty Catja followed by a review of the safety guidelines for the kids as they hunt the fields.  During the hunt Michael Furr and his goshawk/english setter hunting team talked about the ancient sport of falconry.  When the event came to a close we went through nearly 100 pigeons and an equal amount of hot dogs!
