CONCORD, N.H. -- New Hampshire's Youth Waterfowl Hunting Weekend will be held statewide on Saturday and Sunday, September 23-24, 2017. To participate, youth must be age 15 or younger and must be accompanied by a properly licensed adult age 18 or older. The adult may not hunt. The youth is not required to have a hunting license or duck stamp.

"The youth weekend is a great way to get kids involved in waterfowl hunting. It provides them the opportunity to go with an adult who knows the sport, at a time of year when it's still fairly warm and good numbers of birds are around," said Jessica Carloni, waterfowl biologist for the N.H. Fish and Game Department. "Quality time spent with a child during youth weekend can help foster an appreciation for hunting and the environment."

All regular season waterfowl regulations, including shooting hours, use of non-toxic shot, etc., apply during the youth weekend.

Specific seasons and bag limits for various waterfowl are listed on the Fish and Game website at www.huntnh.com/hunting/waterfowl.html .

The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department works in partnership with the public to conserve the state's fish, wildlife, and marine resources and their habitats.
