Apply now for turkey hunts at Caney Mountain CA
Selected hunters will take part in youth, archery and firearms hunts this
spring.
AVA, Mo.--Hunters have until March 15 to apply for managed spring turkey
hunts at Caney Mountain Conservation Area in Ozark County. The event offers
an opportunity to hunt one of Missouri's wildest, most scenic public areas.
The Missouri Department of Conservation will hold a drawing for four managed
hunts at Caney Mountain CA. Ten hunters age 6 to 15 will be selected to hunt
during the Youth Spring Turkey Season April 9 and 10. Thirty archers will
get to hunt during the first week of the spring turkey season April 18
through 24. Thirty hunters will be drawn to hunt with either archery
equipment or shotguns during each of the final two weeks of the spring
turkey season.
The application period for the managed hunts is Feb. 15 through March 15.
Hunters can apply individually or in parties of up to three. To apply, call
417/256-7161.
Caney Mountain CA's 7,880 acres encompass steep, forested hills, rocky
glades, rolling savannah and a 1,330-acre natural area. The Conservation
Department trapped wild turkeys at Caney Mountain to restore wild turkeys
after unregulated hunting wiped the species out in the rest of the state.
