The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism is hosting a hunting showcase at 10 a.m. today at HorseThief Reservoir in Jetmore to spotlight the economic benefits of Kansas hunting and fishing and to release the 2014 Tourism Economics data.
The showcase will be hosted by Kansas Secretary of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Robin Jennison and will feature Kansas hunting and fishing small businesses and participatory wingshooting and archery activities. The event is free and open to the public and will include a biscuits and gravy breakfast beginning at 9:30 a.m.
In addition, outdoor sports writers attending the event are invited to join a pheasant hunt on Friday afternoon at Big Prairie Hunts, a private land hunting site in Pierceville. Space is limited, so interested outdoor travel writers are invited to email tstratton@jhpadv.com to reserve a spot for the afternoon hunt. Reservations will be on a first-come-first-served basis.
