UPDATE: The highly anticipated Clay County Youth Pheasant Hunt is set to take place on October 18-19, 2023, providing an exciting opportunity for young residents of Iowa. This special event allows local youths aged 15 and younger to hunt for rooster pheasants without the need for a license, habitat fee, or completion of hunter education.
This unique resident-only youth season coincides with Iowa’s pheasant hunting season, which officially opens the last Saturday of October. The hunt encourages outdoor engagement among younger generations while fostering a love for wildlife and conservation.
Participants must be under the direct supervision of an adult, ensuring a safe and guided experience. This initiative not only promotes responsible hunting practices but also strengthens community bonds as families and mentors guide the youth in this cherished tradition.
As excitement builds for this event, parents and guardians are urged to prepare their young hunters. Key details, such as designated hunting areas and safety protocols, will be essential to ensure a successful outing.
Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity for young Iowans to experience the thrill of pheasant hunting. Mark your calendars for October 18-19 and prepare for a memorable weekend in the great outdoors!
