Youth turkey hunt returns for third season

HEBER SPRINGS - Providing turkey hunting opportunities for Arkansas’ youths is the idea behind what has become an annual event in the state. Fifteen lucky Arkansas youths will get a chance to hunt turkey in the Heber Springs area Mar. 27-28.

“This event will be both educational and fun,” said Sam Lester of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. “These young people will work with local guides to learn about turkey hunting and gun safety,” Lester added.

The AGFC is teaming up with the National Wild Turkey Federation and Lindsay’s Rainbow Resort for this unique youth hunting opportunity. Kids will be selected for the hunt by submitting a 200-word essay titled “Outdoor Memories.” Youths must be between the ages of 12 and 15 as well as hunter education graduates. Those chosen to take part in the turkey hunt will receive camouflage clothing and a turkey vest provided by Mack’s Prairie Wings of Stuttgart and turkey calls from Hooks Custom Calls of Batesville.

To submit an essay for the contest, mail the composition to Sam Lester, HC 72 Box 309 H, Jasper, Ark. 72641.Be sure to include name, address, age and telephone number with the essay. Deadline is Mar. 20. For more information contact Sam Lester at 870-446-5895.

“In addition to the educational experience for the youth participants, this is a great opportunity to showcase Arkansas’ wildlife resources,” Lester explained.

The youth turkey hunt is sponsored by the AGFC along with the help of local guides and landowners.
