Most are aware that we now hold our LPWA Youth Hunt on the Special Youth Heritage Hunting day which allows young hunters a special day a week before the regular opening of the season. We will have 18 Young Hunters out this year as part of our event. However Hunters with young people at home do have access to the other blinds in the Unit. I have cut this from the 2014 Rules which lets you know how to reserve a blind for that day.
