NEW JERSEY – This year’s guided Take a Kid Hunting Pheasant Hunt will take place on Saturday, November 5, according to the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife.
Properly licensed youth hunters will have the opportunity to pheasant hunt using trained bird dogs under the guidance of volunteer mentors. Guided youth hunts are offered at several WMAs throughout the state.
All guided morning hunt participants must register online and once registration reaches capacity for each WMA, it will no longer appear on the online registration form. Registration closes October 15 and late registrations will not be accepted.
Priority will be given to first time participants and we encourage youth who have never had the opportunity to upland hunt to take advantage of this program.
Youth hunters who do not register for the guided hunt can still participate November 5 and November 7-11 on any of the 10 WMAs stocked for the Take a Kid Pheasant Hunting program. Youth hunters must be properly licensed and accompanied by a properly licensed mentor.
Any one with questions, should contact staff at r3mentoredhunt@dep.nj.gov.
