Junior hunters must be fully licensed and registered with HIP (see link for HIP above a federal duck stamp is not required for 12-15 year-olds). Preseason Youth Days also tend to have milder weather and help young hunters develop the skills needed to be successful during the regular season.ĭaily bag limits are equal to the maximum daily bag limit during the regular season. Holding the youth waterfowl hunt before the start of the regular season allows participants an increased opportunity to harvest local and early migrating waterfowl. The timing of the Youth Waterfowl Hunt allows for a break in hunting between the youth hunt and the beginning of the regular waterfowl season (usually 1-3 weeks depending on the zone). This special two-day hunt prior to the regular season in each waterfowl hunting zone provides young waterfowl hunters (ages 12-15) with the opportunity to spend time afield with an experienced adult hunter pursuing ducks, geese, and brant. DEC established youth waterfowl days in 1996.
