The Louisiana Wildlife Federation is looking to honor Youth Hunter of the Year. The award will recognize a boy and girl hunter 15 years of age or younger and the deadline to apply is Wednesday. Jimmy Fredrick with LWF says they want to hear the story of a hunting trip that took place last year from the perspective of the hunter.
The winner will be presented with a plaque at LWF’s Annual Conservation Achievement Awards banquet on April 12th.
This will be the first time the award has been presented since 2019.
Fredrick says LWF is giving the award in conjunction with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. He says the essay doesn’t necessarily have to be about a successful hunting trip, it’s all about the experience.
Cut 4 (12) “…or 15 years old.”
Among the prizes is a $100 gift certificate from Bowie (pronounced Boo-ee) Outfitters and a third gift certificate will be raffled off among other entries.
Fredrick says it’s very easy to enter on their website and participants are asked to write about their memorable hunting trip.
