This is a great way to get the next generation excited about upland hunting, the outdoors, and our favorite part…. The gun dogs!
Thanks to the New Jersey Fish & Wildlife R3 Program for facilitating and promoting programs like this!
Registration is now open for the Take a Kid Pheasant Hunting program!
This year’s guided Take a Kid Hunting Pheasant Hunt will take place on Saturday, November 2. Properly licensed youth hunters will have the opportunity to pheasant hunt using trained bird dogs under the guidance of volunteer mentors. Guided youth hunts are offered at 8 WMAs throughout the state.
All guided morning hunt participants must register online. When registration reaches capacity for each WMA, it will no longer appear on the online registration form. Registration closes October 15. Late registrations will not be accepted.

Priority will be given to first time participants, and we encourage youth who have never had the opportunity to upland hunt to take advantage of this program! Walk-in participants WILL NOT be accepted, so please register as soon as possible to guarantee your spot.
Youth hunters who do not register for the guided morning hunt can still participate November 2 and November 4 - 8 on any of the 10 WMAs stocked for the Take a Kid Pheasant Hunting program. Youth hunters must be properly licensed and accompanied by a properly licensed mentor.
