Youth Turkey Hunting Clinics Planned for April


 

SALEM - Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife officials today announced
a series of youth turkey hunting clinics, scheduled April 2 at sites
throughout Oregon. 

 

Conducted by the National Wild Turkey Federation, Oregon Hunters
Association, and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Education
Services Section, the clinics will cover safety, turkey calling, shotgun
patterning, camouflage, and scouting tactics. 

 

Programs are offered at the following locations:

*	White River Wildlife Area (Friend - South of The Dalles)
*	Douglas Ridge Rifle Club (Clackamas)
*	Emerald Empire Gun Club (Eugene)
*	Josephine County Sports Park (Grants Pass).

 

"The National Wild Turkey Federation and Oregon Hunters Association
volunteers have done a fantastic job pulling together all the pieces for
these events," said Kenn Condon, ODFW Education Services Section
Manager. "We appreciate the continued strong support of hunting
association partners to make hunting safe, fun, and accessible for all
Oregonians."

 

Participants are not required to have hunter education certification to
participate in the events, but participants younger than 18 will need to
complete hunter education before participating in the spring turkey
hunting season.
