Norton Longspur Chapter of Pheasants Forever In cooperation with Prairie Dog State Park

Prairie Dog State Park is accepting applications for the Annual Youth Pheasant

Hunt which will be held on Sunday, January 22, 2023 at 1pm. The mentored hunt

is limited to twelve youth hunters ages 10-15. All participants must wear blaze orange during the special hunt and each youth must be accompanied by an adult. If more than 12 youth apply for the hunt, local staff will conduct a drawing to determine who will be eligible to hunt in this year’s event. Lunch will be served prior to a safety/instruction meeting. In cooperation with the Norton Pheasants Forever chapter, the annual youth is held to provide a safe opportunity for young hunters to get focused training and hunting opportunities that are unique to this event. This special hunt within state park boundaries allows for the introduction and retention of youth in the outdoor experience of hunting upland birds. The Prairie Dog State Park youth hunt is designed to encourage young hunters and should offer a quality experience with a better than average chance of success to help keep young hunters interested.

To apply, contact the Prairie Dog State Park office at (785) 877-2953 no later than January 20 th with your name, birth date and phone number
