Event Registration
Youth Turkey Hunting Clinic (Southern OR) Registration
This clinic provides youth ages 8–17 with an introduction to spring turkey hunting in a supportive, hands-on learning environment tailored to both beginning and developing hunters. Participants will learn safe, ethical, and effective turkey hunting techniques while gaining practical field skills they can apply and build upon in future seasons.
Designed to help young hunters get started in the sport, the clinic offers instruction, knowledge, and access to equipment needed for a successful hunting experience. Participants will also have the opportunity to enter a drawing for a mentored turkey hunt led by an experienced volunteer from OHA or ODFW.
While harvesting a turkey is not guaranteed, mentored hunts are intended to provide personalized guidance and valuable hands-on experience, allowing participants to practice and reinforce the skills and techniques learned during the clinic.
