Youth Pheasant Hunt Scheduled in Salmon

A free youth pheasant hunt is planned from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, November 1, in Salmon. Participants will meet at the Idaho Department of Fish and Game's Salmon Region office, 99 Highway 93 N, where they will learn about pheasants and hunting with dogs. The group will then meet at the Lemhi County Shooting Range to practice shotgun safety and shooting skills before heading out to the hunt. The hunt will take place at a controlled-access site where pheasants have been released. The young hunters will be accompanied by a range master, dog handler, and an experienced dog. The hunt is open to youth aged 10 to 15 with a valid hunting license. Each hunter must also be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the entire day. This is a popular event and spaces are limited, so sign up soon. For more information and to register, please call the Fish and Game office at 208-756-2271. Individuals with disabilities may contact the Fish and Game office or the Idaho Relay Service at 1-800-377-2529 (TDD) to request accommodations.
