Youth Turkey Hunt Coming Up in April

TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KLIX) – November isn’t the only time you can eat turkey. But before you turn on the oven, try bagging your own bird. Or at least let your kid do it for you.

Idaho’s general season youth turkey hunt is coming up April 8-14.

“Idaho’s youth hunts were created to increase opportunities and promote hunting as a safe, enjoyable family-oriented activity,” Bill Seybold, a volunteer coordinator for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. “Plus, they are great ways to introduce young people to hunting without the pressure of competing with lots of other hunters.”

Those ages 10 to 17 years old on April 8 may participant in the hunt. Residents under 12 and non-resident hunter under 18 must be accompanied by a licensed adult hunter.
