Guided waterfowl hunts offered to youth in northeast Oklahoma

Young hunters will want to put their name in a drawing for the Youth Waterfowl Hunt and Field Day at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge near Vian, Oklahoma.  The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation is hosting the special hunt, along with help from the United States Fish & Wildlife Service and the Oklahoma State Game Warden Association.

To be a part of this event, youth must be ages 14 or 15 at the time of the hunt  and they must submit a postcard to the refuge. There will then be a random drawing to select the participants for the event.

The event will be held Thursday, Dec. 22, and Friday, Dec. 23, 2005. The first day will be a field day with activities such as duck calling, hunting safety, decoy placement, waterfowl identification, retriever demonstration and shotgun shooting. The second day will be the hunt day and participants will be taken on a guided waterfowl hunt.

To participate in this event, anyone that will be age 14 or 15 at the time of the hunt must submit a postcard with their name, address and age to:

Youth Hunt
Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge
Rt. 1 Box 18-A
Vian, OK  74962

All entries must be received by November 1, 2005. Lodging will not be provided, however there will be special discount rates available at an area motel. Lunch will be provided on the field day and breakfast will be provided on the hunt day.
