Youth hunters will be assigned one hunt date occurring on the morning of Nov. 7 or Nov. 14. Each hunter will be assigned a “hunt mentor” to ensure safety and guide the permittee. The Game Commission encourages each permittee to be accompanied by an adult parent or guardian so that the experience can be shared. Following the hunt, permittees and their guests are invited to attend a free luncheon provided by Pheasants Forever.
Youth hunters may apply through the Commissions online application process found at: https://pgcdatacollection.pa.gov/PheasantYouthHuntApplication
