The National Wild Turkey Federation and the Massachusetts Division of Fish and Wildlife are making it easier for youngsters to discover the thrill of wild turkey hunting. The Massachusetts Fisheries and Wildlife Board recently approved a statewide mentored youth turkey hunting program that is modeled after its successful youth pheasant hunting program. The program will help 12 to 17-year-old hunter education graduates sharpen their newfound skills via a fun, hands-on workshop that will teach firearms safety, hunting ethics, techniques and more.
MDFW and volunteers from the Massachusetts chapter of NWTF worked together to develop program guidelines based largely on the NWTF's Turkey Hunting Success and Safety program, which educates hunters about safer turkey hunting.
