YOUTH WATERFOWL WEEKEND IS SEPTEMBER 24-25 CONCORD, N.H. -- New Hampshire's 2005 Youth Waterfowl Hunting Days will be held statewide on Saturday, September 24; and Sunday, September 25. To participate, youths must be 15 years of age or younger and must be accompanied by a properly licensed adult age 18 or older. The adult may not hunt. "The youth weekend is a great way to get kids involved in waterfowl hunting by giving them a chance to go along with an adult who knows the sport, at a time when lots of birds are around," said Ed Robinson, a waterfowl biologist for the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. "Quality time spent with a kid during the youth weekend can help instill in them an appreciation of hunting lore, ethics and our outdoor environment." The hunting rules and daily bag limits for young hunters are the same as those for license-holders in the open season. Specific seasons and bag limits for various waterfowl are listed on the Fish and Game website at http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/Hunting/Hunt_species/hunt_waterfowl.htm. The regular inland waterfowl season starts October 4 this year, with coastal hunting starting the next day on October 5. You can purchase hunting licenses and permits online at http://www.nhfishandgame.com, or from license agents statewide.
