ODFW’s Access and Habitat Program and the C2 Ranch are offering 10 youth hunters the chance to hunt turkey on the ranch’s 9,500-acre property near Medford this spring.

The deadline to apply is March 30 and winners will be drawn on April 2. Each winner will get a one-day guided hunt. A parent or other adult can also accompany the youth hunter.

Find the application at ODFW’s Weekly Recreation Report and follow the directions to apply. Applications must be received by 5 p.m. on March 30.

It is free to apply and free to hunt for the hunters that win the opportunity. All winners are still responsible for purchasing a hunting license and a turkey tag. Winners will also need to contact the ranch to set up a hunting time.

Youth age 9-15 without hunter education certification may apply and hunt under the Mentored Youth Hunter Program, but only during the general season (April 15-May 31), not the youth-only season (April 7-8).

The A and H Program funds projects that provide hunter access and/or improve wildlife habitat on private land in Oregon. The A and H Program is funded primarily by a $4 surcharge on hunting licenses, big game auction and raffle tag sales.
