Youth turkey hunters have a special opportunity to participate in one turkey hunt that will take place April 1 on private land in Love County.
This year, 10 youths will be selected to participate in the private lands youth turkey hunt. To be eligible, youths must have completed their hunter education requirements prior to applying and must be 12-17 years old at the time of the scheduled hunt. Food and overnight accommodations will be provided by the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation for selected participants.
Applications are being taken now and must be submitted online by 11:59 p.m. March 10.
“This hunt is on private property and should provide young hunters a great opportunity to see some turkey as well as a chance to harvest a tom,” said Bill Dinkines, assistant chief of wildlife for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. “The Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission has endorsed the youth hunt program, and we are thankful for the landowners’ willingness to allow these kids the opportunity to hunt on their property.”
To complete an application, go to www.wildlifedepartment.com and search for "private youth turkey."
