Junior hunts
The 4,200-acre Canada De Los Osos Ecological Reserve in Santa Clara County will be open for youth to hunt wild turkey, wild pig, black-tailed deer and upland game birds this year. This will be the third year for this very successful program. A new feature is the combined upland gamebird hunt on November 18-19, offering the opportunity to hunt quail and dove as well as turkey.
Applicants may only submit a single application for this hunt and applications need to be received at the address above by 5 p.m., March 22, 2006. Applications received late or incomplete will not be considered in the draw. Applicants will be notified of the results by mail and will receive additional information, including maps and special regulations, prior to their hunt.
The first junior hunt will be held on April 22-23, and will be for turkey only. Five junior hunters will be chosen by drawing to participate. All juniors must be accompanied by an adult. The day includes classroom, range and field assistance in the techniques of gun handling and safety, turkey hunting and game care. There will be shooting practice as well as instruction on wildlife and hunting. Participants will be guided on their hunts by CDA volunteers. This will be a two-day event, with overnight lodging available in nearby Gilroy. Lunch on the second day will be provided by CDA.
The hunts are free and coordinated by the Department of Fish and Game and California Deer Association exclusively for boys and girls ages 15 and under who possess a California junior hunting license.
Deadlines to apply:
wild turkey (March 22);
spring wild pig (April 27);

upland game birds (Oct. 18).
