The Youth Turkey Hunt Program introduces youth (ages 12-17) to the world of hunting. This safe and fun program is offered by MassWildlife, the Massachusetts State Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation, and participating Sportsmen's Clubs. After completing program requirements, youth hunters can hunt on a special day with a licensed adult hunter. This year, the mentored hunt will be on April 26, 2025.
All first-time participants must complete a seminar before the day of the hunt. You can choose to complete the seminar in-person or at your own pace through online learning. Learn about all the Youth Turkey Hunt Program requirements and get started.
