The Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division (WFF) has designated February 6-7 as Special Youth Waterfowl Hunting Days. On those two days, youth may hunt when accompanied by a licensed adult hunter. Regular waterfowl shooting hours, bag limits, legal arms and ammunition apply.
Youth are defined as individuals age 15 years and younger. Adults are defined as individuals age 25 years and older, or the parent of the youth. The adult must have a state hunting license, state and federal waterfowl stamps and a free harvest information program stamp.
The adult supervisor, who may not hunt, must remain within arm’s length of the youth at all times. The adult supervisor may accompany up to two youth participants during the hunt. Only one firearm will be allowed per youth, and only the youth hunters will be permitted to utilize the firearm for hunting. The adult is expected to review the rules of firearm safety and hunter ethics with each youth and ensure they are followed.
