Youth Dove Hunter-Orientation Workshop and Hunts Location: Jay Henges Shooting Range Date: Thursday, August 21, 2014, 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is partnering with the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) and Quail Forever (QF) to provide mentored hunts for first-time dove hunters eight years of age or older on five sunflower fields located on private land across the state and one on public land. Participants must first attend a hunter-orientation workshop where they will learn about dove biology and management, the importance of hunters and hunting, hunter safety, and will have the opportunity to practice shooting a shotgun. No equipment is necessary for the workshops or hunts. Hunters 8-15 years must be accompanied by a parent or guardian during both the pre-hunt workshop and the hunt. Participants will be provided more details via email prior to the workshop. For more information or to register/apply, contact John Burk of NWTF at 573-676-5994 or [email protected], or Elsa Gallagher of QF at 660-277-3647 or [email protected].
