This is the county's first ever hunting & wildlife area specifically for youth. It provides young people with the unique opportunity to have quality hunting and outdoor experiences by allowing only young hunters, aged 15 and under, to hunt the area, as long as they are accompanied by a licensed adult, 21 years and over. A free permit is required of the hunters and a permit application can be obtained on our web site. The permit allows for one youth and one adult per hunting outing. No more than two permits will be issued simultaneously.
The area is also open to youth for fishing, nature study, and other compatible uses, but no trapping is allowed on the area. Youth organizations are encouraged to utilize the area, as well. The idea is to encourage more young people to participate in outdoor recreational opportunities and to hopefully carry those experiences into adulthood.
