Pheasant stockings make youth season even better

Make memories and spend quality time together: take a young person hunting for the Oct. 21-22 statewide youth pheasant season.

This special season provides a great opportunity to expose young people to hunting in a controlled environment. Plus, pheasants will be released at 19 sites statewide before the season, upping your chances of success.

Resident youth (age 15 or younger) do not need a permit to hunt small game, but nonresident youth must have a hunt permit and habitat stamp. Only youth are allowed to hunt during the youth season, except at designated Special Youth Hunt locations, where accompanying adults also are allowed to hunt.
