Hunters can choose from several dates and locations. Parties with at least one youth will be given priority in the draw at all seven locations:

  • Oct. 25 – Nayanquing Point Wildlife Area (afternoon hunt only) in Pinconning
  • Oct. 26 – Muskegon County Wastewater (morning and afternoon hunts) in Twin Lake

Drawings will occur at 5:30 a.m. for the youth morning hunts and at 11 a.m. for the youth afternoon hunts (except at Harsens Island, which takes place at 11:30 a.m.).

Youth priority drawings are available for hunting parties with at least one youth (16 and younger) and up to two adults (maximum party size is four). All youth participating in these priority hunts must be properly licensed to hunt. Youth hunters 9 years old and younger must be accompanied by a qualified Mentored Youth Hunting Program mentor.

At the Fennville Farm Unit of the Allegan State Game Area, only parties including youth hunters will be allowed to hunt, and only youth will be permitted to shoot during this youth hunt.
