The Fraternal Order of Police Linton Lodge No. 105 and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, in cooperation with Ray Howell's Kicking Bear Youth Program, will host the first Redbird Youth Hunt this weekend at Redbird State Riding Area.
The event begins at 7:30 p.m. today with dinner at the Triple H Gun Club, located on State Road 59, just south of Linton.
The hunters will be lodged at Shakamak State Park, just north of Jasonville.
“Our hunt will be conducted on Saturday morning at Redbird State Riding Area with an archery education course given by the Indiana Bowhunters Association in the afternoon,” said Conservation Officer Steve Haines. “The hunt will resume in the evening and then our youth will again stay at a cabin at Shakamak State Park.”
Hunters will return to Redbird on Sunday morning for off-road Jeep and truck rides given by members of the Redbird Management Group.
Haines said the children - ages 10-14 - were chosen for the hunt by the Youth Hunt Committee.
“We picked kids who had never hunted before or never would've had the chance had we not given it to them,” Haines said.
