Special Hunts

KBNWRC Youth/Junior Waterfowl Hunting

The Klamath Basin Refuge Complex hunt program is pleased to offer special hunts for the education of our youth. These hunts are held on both the California and Oregon portions of the Complex for youth ages 17 and under to hunt ducks and geese. All youth hunters must be accompanied by an adult 18 years of age or older. Only licensed youth hunters will be allowed to carry firearms in the field. All areas normally open to waterfowl hunting on Tule Lake and Lower Klamath Refuges will be open for youth hunts with the following exception: Un-harvested fields with standing grain or other crops will not be open even in areas normally open to hunting. The daily draw areas of Tule Lake Refuge will be open as a free roam area during this hunt. Youth hunters 15 and under are not required to purchase a Recreation Pass to hunt the Tule Lake and Lower Klamath NWRs. Adults accompanying youth hunters for the pre-season hunt do not require a Recreation Pass. However, all persons 16 and over must possess a Recreation Pass while in the field during the regular waterfowl & pheasant seasons.

Pre-season Youth Hunt: This hunt is a two day event offered to youth hunters in September, fourteen (14) days prior to the opening of the general waterfowl season. Entry time onto the Refuges is 4:30 a.m. unless otherwise posted and shoot times correspond to State regulations.
