Ash Hollow Youth Mentored Waterfowl Hunt is Oct. 18

Youth ages 11-15 may register for the Ash Hollow Youth Mentored Waterfowl Hunt, which is Oct. 18 at Clear Creek Wildlife Management Area near Lewellen.

In addition to a mentored hunt with a Nebraska Game and Parks Commission conservation officer, this free event includes learning stations, lunch, door prizes and raffles. There will be a drawing for a youth lifetime hunt permit.

Hunter check-in begins at 8 a.m. Mountain time at the Clear Creek WMA office. Then they will go through the following learning stations: firearm safety, decoy placement, zones of fire, blind safety, duck calling, trap shooting, dog demonstration, boating skills and safety, and waterfowl identification.

Early registration and completion of a hunter education course are required of hunters. The morning workshop will be considered a Hunt Safe Session. Space is limited to 25 hunters. Preference is given to hunters who have never been on this hunt in the past.

Register by contacting Tamara Cooper at Ash Hollow State Historical Park at 308-778-7708 or [email protected].

This event is sponsored by Game and Parks’ Law Enforcement, Parks, Wildlife, and Fish and Wildlife Education divisions. For general inquiries or event questions, contact Jerod Hahn at [email protected].
