East Idaho seniors go pheasant hunting in Teton Valley
Published at | Updated at
REXBURG — The serene landscape of the Teton Valley, nestled against the Grand Tetons, golden farmland, and fall colored forests, recently played host to a unique and unforgettable experience for the residents at the Homestead Senior Living.
The residents went pheasant hunting, and enjoyed watching their comrades succeed in their hunts.
The hunts were guided by the Homesteads’ very own Tyler Thueson, and Blake Jenkins, who owns Triple Command Kennels and Snake River Game Birds. As Blake worked his hunting dog to find the previously released pheasants in a large meadow, Tyler would drive the resident in the ranger to a closer destination of where the dog pointed. They then would get out, flush the bird, and shoot!
The residents shot with amazing accuracy as they ended the day with two to three birds each.
The day was marked by camaraderie, laughter, and the joy of the chase. As the residents warmed themselves up and ate lunch by the fireplace in a cabin, the residents hung on each other’s every word as they shared grand hunting stories of their past, with each story getting bigger and better.
The Homestead’s decision to organize this pheasant hunt aligns with its commitment to providing a diverse range of activities that cater to the interests of its residents. By offering opportunities for outdoor recreation, the Homestead aims to foster a close-knit community and promote an appreciation for the natural world.
The Homestead has made this pheasant hunting adventure an annual tradition, ensuring that its residents can continue to connect with nature and each other in a unique and thrilling way.
