The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service will open Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge to a limited entry youth waterfowl hunt in Fall 2013. The two-day youth hunt will run concurrently with the State youth waterfowl season, usually the last weekend in September.
Hunters will be restricted to a limited number (up to eight hunting sites) of fixed spaces depending on fall water levels. Two youths (under the age of 16) and the accompanying non-hunting adult(s) (at least 18 years of age) will be allowed at each site. Youth hunters will be selected from a random drawing.
Applications are accepted at the refuge or by mail from Aug. 1-15.
Applications should be submitted on standard U.S. Postal Service postcards and include the youth’s full name, address, and telephone number. Youths may apply with a youth friend or youth sibling on the same application. Mail postcards to Refuge Manager, Turnbull NWR, 26010 South Smith Road, Cheney, WA, 99004.
