Grenada Lake will once again host a Youth Waterfowl Draw Hunt for hunts to take place on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers property. Grenada Lake has hosted a youth waterfowl hunt for six years.
“We are excited to be hosting a youth waterfowl draw hunt at Grenada Lake,” Will Clark, Natural Resource Specialist, said. “This allows our youth the opportunity to be in the outdoors and bag some water fowl.”
Registration will begin Dec. 16 and end at the close of the business day on Dec. 23.
All those interested in participating need to send an email to Elizabeth.A.Boyle Garlington@usace.army.mil containing the youth hunter’s name and age along with the accompanying adult’s name, phone number and address.
The draw will take place Jan 4, 2022 and registrants will be notified of their status the day of or the day after the drawing. Drawn participants will be given a packet with rules and regulations as well as a map of their hunting area. An exact number of participants for each weekend has yet to be determined contingent on number of weekends hunted.
Tentative dates for the hunt are:
• Jan. 8-9
• Jan. 15-16
• Jan. 22-23
• Jan. 29-30
• Feb. 5-6.
The hunt will be open only to youth 10-15 years of age. All youth hunters must be accompanied by an adult 21 years of age or older who possess a valid Mississippi Hunting License. All participants will be responsible for meeting all age appropriate state and federal waterfowl hunting regulations.
