Youth turkey hunting clinics planned

SALEM - Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife officials today announced
a series of youth turkey hunting clinics, scheduled at sites throughout
Oregon. 
Conducted by the Oregon Hunters Association, National Wild Turkey
Federation, and ODFW's Education Services Section, the clinics will
cover safety, turkey calling, shotgun patterning, camouflage, and
scouting tactics. 

Programs are offered at the following locations: 
* April 1:  White River Wildlife Area (Friend - South of The Dalles ) 
* March 11:  Douglas Ridge Rifle Club (Clackamas) 
* April 1:  Emerald Empire Gun Club (Eugene) 

"The Oregon Hunters Association and National Wild Turkey Federation
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
