The Youth Deer Hunt event is set for October 17 and 18, 2026, at the Laurel Hill Wildlife Management Area. This event is tailored for juveniles aged 6 to 16, providing a valuable opportunity for young hunters to engage in the sport under the supervision of non-hunting adults aged 21 or older.
Participants can look forward to a chili and hotdog lunch on Saturday, beginning at 10 a.m. This meal aims to foster a sense of community among attendees. Family involvement is encouraged, as juveniles must be accompanied by a non-hunting adult during the hunt.
To participate, juveniles aged 6 and older must have a type 94 WMA permit or a lifetime license. Additionally, those aged 13 and older are required to possess other valid hunting licenses. It is crucial to note that youths aged 10 and older must have completed a hunter education class before the event.
While adults accompanying the juveniles do not need a hunting license, they must adhere to blaze orange regulations to ensure safety during the hunt. This requirement enhances visibility in the hunting area, promoting a safer environment for all participants.
No pre-registration or sign-in is necessary for the event, making it accessible for families wishing to attend. The location at 74 VFW Road offers a suitable setting for the hunt, allowing participants to immerse themselves in the natural surroundings.
For further information, interested parties can contact the event organizers at 931-762-5749. This event provides young hunters with the chance to learn and practice their skills in a supportive environment while enjoying a meal with fellow participants.
