Openings remain for mentored youth turkey hunts

HUNTING — This is amazing: A few openings for youth mentored turkey hunts in Idaho’s Clearwater Region are not yet filled — and the Idaho youth-only wild turkey season is already open.

This is a great opportunity to have a kid age 10-15 go one-on-one with an experienced turkey hunter in a program sponsored by Idaho Fish and Game in the youth season that continues through Tuesday, April 14.

Here are details from the Lewiston office:

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game still has openings in their youth mentored hunt program to take youths aged 10-15 on mentored turkey hunts this year.  Youths must have a valid hunting license and turkey tag, but there are no other costs to participate.  IDFG will provide a shotgun, ammunition, and all other necessary equipment for the hunt.

Department personnel will take youngsters out for a morning (or afternoon) hunt in pursuit of these wily birds.
