Mentored Turkey Hunt for Central New York Women

I'm a bit jealous about this mentored turkey hunt from the New York Department of Environmental Conservation. It's only for novice women hunters 16 or older. Oneida and Madison county hunters and the NWTF will join the DEC to offer some inside tips on calling and tracking birds this spring.

To participate, there are two important dates in April to remember. April 1 is the deadline to register for the hunt and the weekend of April 14 will be a training session that must be attended. The hunting will occur during the May turkey season.

You'll also need a small game hunting license and spring turkey tag. Download an application and get more details at cny my hunts.org or call 315-225-0192. Once the app is completed, you can email it to sfcf@tds.net or regular mail to:
