YOUTH TURKEY HUNTS

Youth turkey hunts are a favorite among all the turkey guides and the entire staff at Latitudes. Seeing the next generation get involved in turkey hunting is something we all enjoy. The smile on their faces tells the entire story. Our spring youth turkey hunts are normally very successful and a great way to get youth hunters involved in hunting.

A good way to start out a youth turkey hunting, is with an experienced guide. Most guides gain more knowledge in one year of guiding turkey hunts than a hunter will achieve in five years on his own. All of our turkey guides enjoy teaching others how to become a better turkey hunter. Using a guide your first year or two will save you many years of mistakes and possible frustration.

When taking youth hunters out for the first time, we like to have them hunt out of ground blinds. This gives the youth hunter, parent, and guide plenty of room. It also allows the youth hunter a little more movement when waiting for that gobbler.
