Youth Turkey Hunt begins soon |
|
April 3, 2016 |
Youth turkey hunters get an early shot as
Idaho's general season youth turkey hunt runs
Friday, April 8 through Thursday, April 14.
Licensed youth who are 10 to 17 years old on
April 8 may participate in the general season
youth hunt. Resident hunters under 12 and
nonresident hunters under 18 must be accompanied
by a licensed adult 18 years of age or older to
participate.
"Idaho's youth hunts were created to increase
opportunities and promote hunting as a safe,
enjoyable family-oriented activity," said Bill
Seybold, Fish and Game volunteer coordinator
based in Lewiston. "Plus they are great ways to
introduce young people to hunting without the
pressure of competing with lots of other
hunters."
Adults who accompany youth hunters must also be
licensed and be within normal conversation or
hearing range without shouting and without the
aid of electronic devices.
For more information, see the 2016 & 2017 Upland
Game, Furbearer and Turkey Seasons and Rules
brochure available at all Fish and Game license
vendors and online at
http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/hunt/rules/?getPage=67.
Idaho's general spring turkey season opens April
15 and runs through May 25.
