Youth ages 11-15 may register for the Ash Hollow Youth Mentored Waterfowl Hunt, which is Oct. 19 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.
Hunters must have completed a hunter education course. 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.
