The annual Spring Turkey Youth Hunt is designed to give young and novice

The hunt falls on Easter weekend this year, so just let me know if you can only do a few hours we will make it work..Thanks, Julie
For Tom's Guns Spring Turkey Hunt
Youth Hunt: ages 10-15
Youth hunters need to be 10-15 years of age, who possess a valid spring turkey license, stamp, and ZONE 2 permit.
All hunters must have successfully completed a Hunter Education Course. All youth hunters will be accompanied by a mentor age 18 or older. (Youth who do not successfully harvest a turkey during the youth hunt may use their unfilled zone 2 permit during the time period and in the zone for which their permit was issued.)
Learn to Hunt: ages 10-Adults
We will have a tag for the LTH hunters.
Learn to hunt hunters are who have NOT completed a Hunter Education Course and have NEVER hunted turkeys. All LTH hunters will be paired up one-on-one and within arm’s reach of their mentor. The Learn to Hunt Program, is an educational opportunity designed to help inexperienced hunters, both youth and adults. We strive to have each hunter and mentor have a safe and rewarding first-time hunting experience under the guidance of our qualified hunting mentors. Learn to hunt hunters will receive both classroom and field instruction prior to the actual hunt.
