While adult waterfowl hunters will soon find their season at an end, young hunters have a special two-day season set aside just for them.

The youth waterfowl hunt, for hunters 15 years old and younger, will be Feb. 2-3 in Lincoln County and Clark County.

Youth hunters must be accompanied by an adult who is at least 18 years old, but the adult is not allowed to hunt.

Reservations will be needed to hunt on the Overton Wildlife Management Area. A drawing for reservations will be held at 8 a.m. Monday, at the Nevada Department of Wildlife offices at 4747 Vegas Drive in Las Vegas and 744 S. Racetrack Rd. in Henderson.

The hunter, or their representative, must appear in person to make the reservation.

Hunters who have been waiting for the 2008 Spring Wild Turkey applications will find them at NDOW regional offices, state headquarters and on the Internet at www.ndow.org.

"This is a tremendous opportunity for young hunters to enjoy a day in the field without feeling the pressure that sometimes comes when hunting with more experienced adults. It gives them a chance to focus on the fun associated with being in the outdoors," said Martin Olson, hunter education coordinator for the department.

Youth hunters between the ages of 12 and 15 years of age will need a current hunting license with a Nevada state duck stamp, but will not need a federal Migratory Game Bird Hunting Stamp. That stamp is required for persons ages 16 and older who hunt migratory waterfowl.

New for this year is a junior turkey season for hunters between 12 and 16 years of age. Hunters must have a valid license for March 1, 2007-Feb. 29, to apply.

Successful tag holders must have a valid March 1, 2008 - Feb. 28, 2009 license while hunting.
