Youth turkey hunt set for April 12-13
Wisconsin’s second annual turkey hunt for young hunters will be held April 12-13 to give young hunters an opportunity to hunt turkeys and gain valuable hunting experience.
The Youth Hunt is held annually on the weekend prior to the opening Wednesday of the spring turkey season. Youth ages 12 through 15, both residents and non-residents, who have successfully completed a hunter education program and have purchased a 2008 spring turkey license, 2008 turkey stamp, and have a valid carcass tag for spring 2008 may participate in the two-day hunt. The youth hunters must be accompanied by an adult who is not allowed to hunt during this time.
“Turkey hunting is a unique sport,” says Scott Hull, upland game ecologist for the Department of Natural Resources. “The youth hunt gives young hunters an opportunity to have an adult mentors by their side to not only learn the basics of turkey hunting, but also the extra safety precautions and ethics the sport requires.”
Participants may only hunt in the Turkey Management Zone for which their permit was issued, and may only harvest one bearded or male turkey. Youths who do not fill their tags, or have purchased extra tags over-the-counter, may still use any remaining unused tags during the original time period and zone for which the tags were issued.
A full set of regulations for the youth hunt will be available in the 2008 Spring Turkey Hunting Regulations. More information can be found on the Youth Turkey Hunt page of the DNR Web site.
