They are designed for youngsters who have a desire to hunt waterfowl but do not have anyone to teach them the basics of the sport. Participants will learn the ethics of waterfowl hunting, wetlands and waterfowl appreciation and hunting strategies and will receive wing shooting practice. Youngsters who participate in the clinic may apply for a guided waterfowl hunt during the fall season. About 65 percent of the kids will be drawn for a hunt. Registration starts Aug. 1 and closes 10 days prior to clinic dates.
Class sizes are limited.
A guardian must accompany the youth to the clinic. For more information or to register for a clinic, call one of the conservation offices listed below. In some cases, registration is through a district office and not the area hosting the clinic.
