Youth Waterfowl Hunt Set September 28-29

Youths 12 through 15 years old can hunt waterfowl in the annual Youth Waterfowl Hunt September 28-29. Youth hunters must have a hunting license but the federal waterfowl stamp is not required. A federal migratory game bird harvest validation is also required on the young hunters' license. All rules for hunting including bag and possession limits as well as the requirement for using nontoxic shotshells apply. Waterfowl proclamation booklets will be available at license vendors and Fish and Game offices after September 27. An adult at least 18 years old, having a valid hunting license, must accompany each youth hunter. The adult is not authorized to hunt in this special season. The purpose of the special season is to mentor young hunters in the traditions and practices of waterfowling. Both ducks and geese may be taken in this youth hunt.
