Horicon NWR staff hosted a youth waterfowl hunt, on October 15, 21, and 22.  To be eligible to hunt in this special program, youth must complete hunter safety and one of the local Ducks Unlimited Greenwings Days, or attend the Wisconsin Waterfowl Association Waterfowl Skills Clinic. 

Each youth selected may have one youth partner who also meets the requirements and one adult sponsor who is not allowed to hunt. 

Fourteen youth participated.  Each party hunted one morning out of the three days.  A total of 17 ducks were taken, which consisted of five mallards, three wigeon, three gadwall, three blue-winged teal, and three northern pintail.
