Calling all young outdoor adventurers! Youth ages 10–15 are invited to experience the excitement of waterfowl hunting during the Middle Zone Youth Waterfowl Hunt at Four Rivers Conservation Area.
To be selected for the mentored hunt portion of the event, participation at the "Duck Camp" is required. Duck Camp will be held on Friday, October 30, at 4:00 p.m. in the Headquarters Draw Room at Four Rivers Conservation Area. Missouri Department of Conservation staff will teach participants the fundamentals of duck hunting, including duck calling, decoy placement, waterfowl identification, and hunting safety—everything needed to prepare for an unforgettable morning in the marsh. Participants will also have a field to fork experience with staff sharing some of their favorite wild game culinary creations.
Six youth will be selected for the mentored hunt portion of the event on Saturday. Waders will be provided for the Saturday hunt, and each participant will be paired with an experienced waterfowl hunter who will share their knowledge, skills, and passion for the outdoors.
Whether you're new to duck hunting or looking to build your skills, this is your chance to learn from experienced mentors, make lasting memories, and experience the thrill of the hunt!
