The
Massachusetts Young Adult Pheasant Hunt Program
was developed by MassWildlife to provide an
opportunity for 12-17 year old Hunter Education
graduate to practice firearms safety, develop
shooting skills, and participate in a special
pheasant hunt with a safe, experienced hunter in
a friendly environment.
The program is run by participating local
sportsmen's clubs. Hunter safety is emphasized
in all aspects of the program to help build the
confidence of young adult hunters so they may
feel comfortable hunting alone or with others in
the field. This program is more than just a day
of pheasant hunting in the field. It is a
comprehensive three part outdoor recreation
program.
