🪶 Opportunities for Youth Bird Hunters 🪶

Looking for a chance to get a young hunter outdoors this season? There are several opportunities coming up for youth to experience bird hunting, learn important hunting skills, and enjoy time in the field with family, mentors, and friends.

These events are a great way to introduce young people to the outdoors, wildlife conservation, safe and responsible hunting, and the traditions that make time in the field so special.

Congratulations Slade!! At only 12 years old he has 4 Minnesota bears under his belt already.

Slade’s mother shared…This one is more special as it was his first compound bow harvest. He's practiced shooting so much this summer and it’s paid off. He did weight training all summer with the goal to be able to pull more poundage on his bow. Pulling 51 #'s now, and he even custom fletched all his arrows. Great memories here!

There’s just something special about fresh air, sunshine, and miles of smiles. Bike rides are a great way for kids to burn some energy, explore their surroundings, build confidence, while making memories along the way. Put down the screens, grab the bikes, and get outside🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

The best adventures don’t have to be far from home…here’s a list of some MN Bike Trails

🏹 When we seen a post about a young lady competing in NASP, we instantly wanted to know more about her. Thank you Sydnee for sharing your story with us, you are an inspiration to many other youth!

Hi, I’m Sydnee.
I grew up hunting with my family, and I usually sit in the deer stand with my dad. Hunting is something I really enjoy because I get to spend time outside and with my family.

I joined the schools NASP archery team last year. I got interested in archery because I would sit in the deer stand with my dad and wanted to try shooting a bow. When I tried it, I really liked it! My favorite thing about archery is the competition. I like practicing and trying to get better each time.

My dad has taught me a lot about hunting. He taught me how to be quiet, patient, and pay attention to what is happening around me. I’ve also learned a lot from my coaches and teammates on the archery team. They have helped me become a better archer.

One of my biggest goals is to keep getting better at archery and hopefully compete in the Olympics someday. I also want to keep hunting with my family because it is something special that I get to do with my dad. I’m excited to see what I can accomplish in the future!

Thank you,
Sydnee (age 10 1/2)
