Second Amendment Rights Reaffirmed After Sacramento

Sheriff’s Office Changes Gun Carry Policies

Case continues against yolo county, CA to secure right to self-defense.

Second Amendment Foundation

BELLEVUE, WA --(Ammoland.com)- The Second Amendment

Foundation (SAF) and the Calguns Foundation have dismissed their case

against Sacramento County, California and its Sheriff, John McGinness,

after the Sheriff modified his handgun carry permitting policy.

Law-abiding Sacramento County residents may now successfully apply

for permits to carry handguns by asserting self-defense as a basis for

carry permit issuance. A one-year residency requirement has been

eliminated, as has policy language that tied self-defense to arbitrary

geographic factors.

While Sacramento County has changed its policies, other counties still

fail to recognize that self-defense is a legally sufficient reason for

issuance of a handgun carry permit. The litigation will continue against

Yolo County and its Sheriff, Ed Prieto, on behalf of SAF, Calguns, and

Davis resident Adam Richards. Additionally, this past March, Calguns

supporter Brett Stewart unsuccessfully asserted self-defense as a basis

for seeking a carrying license from Sheriff Prieto.

The Sheriff’s written policy states that “self protection and protection of

family (without credible threats of violence)” are insufficient reasons to

exercise Second Amendment rights. Mr. Stewart will seek to join the

litigation as a plaintiff in this case, now styled Richards v. Prieto.

“We are very happy to have been able to work with Sheriff

McGinness to assist Sacramento County in revising their

policies and practices,” said Gene Hoffman, Chairman of the

Calguns Foundation. “Over the past year, more than 30 of our

law abiding members and supporters have received licenses

to carry firearms with good cause’ statements that are simple

variations of self-defense. Even though the Sheriff is retiring

at the end of the year, both candidates to replace Sheriff

McGinness have publicly stated their support for Second

Amendment rights and that they consider self-defense a

compelling reason for issuance of gun carry permit.”

“The Second Amendment Foundation will continue working

with the Calguns Foundation and keep funding attorney Alan

Gura’s lawsuits in California until everyone’s firearms civil

rights are fully protected,” added SAF founder Alan Gottlieb.

“Together, we will see many more legal victories.”

For those who wish to apply for a CCW permit, the Calguns Foundation

maintains an informational portal to assist applicants in all 58 California

counties as part of its recently announced Carry Licensing Compliance

and Sunshine Initiative. The Sacramento County page has details on the

actual procedure and successful good cause statements and is available

at http://bit.ly/CGFSacCarry .

Nebraska Pheasant Season Opens Oct. 30

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission

LINCOLN, Neb. –-(Ammoland.com)- Pheasant hunting season opens

across the state on Oct. 30, according to the Nebraska Game and Parks

Commission.

Pheasant abundance appears to be high in southwest Nebraska,

according to Game and Parks’ 2010 Upland Game Hunting Outlook.

Combined with public access, this region should offer excellent pheasant

hunting opportunities. The outlook is based on surveys and input from

biologists and staff.

According to the outlook, the abundance of pheasants in Nebraska this

year is highest in the southwest, followed by the Sandhills, central,

northeast, Panhandle, and southeast regions. Overall, the abundance

statewide is slightly lower than in 2009.

Pheasant season is an excellent opportunity for experienced hunters to

introduce the activity to a person who never has hunted or reintroduce it

to someone who has not hunted in many years.

The pheasant season ends Jan. 31, 2011. Only rooster pheasants may be

taken. The daily bag limit is three birds and the possession limit is 12.

The quail and partridge seasons also are Oct. 30-Jan. 31.

All upland bird hunters, except for residents under age 16, are required

to have a Nebraska hunting license and a habitat stamp. An annual

permit costs $14 for residents and $81 for nonresidents. The annual

habitat stamp is $20.

Hunters should review the 2010 Nebraska Public Access Atlas, which

includes Conservation Reserve Program-Management Access Program

lands, as well as Open Fields and Waters program lands, and other

public hunting lands.

Permits and stamps may be purchased at OutdoorNebraska.org.

American Deer & WildlifeAlliance Supports North DakotaHuntersOCT 25, 2010 06:02P.M.

American Deer & Wildlife Alliance Supports Choice for North

Dakota Hunters

American Deer & Wildlife Alliance

AUSTIN, Texas --(Ammoland.com)- On Nov. 2nd, North Dakota

voters will consider Measure 2, a ballot initiative which could restrict

hunting opportunities and land owners’ rights.

The American Deer & Wildlife Alliance (ADWA) reaffirms its support for

freedom of choice among sportsmen in all forms of hunting and private

property rights for land owners.

The ADWA strongly believes support for all forms of hunting creates

more hunting opportunities, provides greater accessibility for sportsmen

of all ages, and helps preserve our American outdoor traditions.

“Measure 2 will ban certain types of hunting, cost thousands

of jobs in the state and - even more disturbing – take away a

land owner’s right to do what they want with their own

property,” says John Meng, president of ADWA.

“Private property rights are the cornerstone of America. If

North Dakota’s Measure 2 is passed, sportsmen will have less

opportunities to hunt and we all lose a bit more of our

freedom. We lose more of what makes us Americans.”

If approved, the ballot initiative known as Measure 2 will ban hunting

preserves and prevent sportsmen from deciding for themselves how and

where to hunt. In addition, the measure will make it a criminal offense

for someone to operate a game ranch which involves privately-owned big

game or exotic mammals.

The American Deer & Wildlife Alliance is a non-profit organization

working to promote the deer and wildlife industry and to preserve our

American outdoor traditions. As a part of its public education efforts,

ADWA produces Points Journal, a full-color magazine covering industry

news, wildlife management issues, products and services; Spikes

Magazine, a quarterly youth publication distributed to summer camps

and public libraries across the country; and the www.iHuntAmerica.com

website, a comprehensive search engine for hunting ranches, game

preserves and outfitters. ADWA also sponsors Keith Warren’s Deer &

Wildlife Stories, which airs on the Pursuit Channel, and the Outdoor

Patriot, an online podcast which features commentary and industry

guests.

Colorado Supreme Court ToConsider CU Gun BanOCT 25, 2010 04:51P.M.

Colorado Supreme Court To Consider CU Gun Ban

Students for Concealed Carry on Campus

Any Campus, USA --(Ammoland.com)- Once again, Colorado is the

scene for one of the next steps in the fight to restore the right to self-

defense on campus, as once again one of their flagship universities turns

to the courts to validate its defiance of state law.

The University of Colorado (CU) is being sued by Students for Concealed

Carry on Campus (SCCC) for its refusal to comply with the state law

passed in 2002 which restricts entities that can prohibit concealed carry.

The university board of regents still asserts their right to enact campus-

wide bans on concealed carry, despite its absence on the list of approved

self-defense regulators.

In December 2008, SCCC in conjunction with the Mountain States Legal

Foundation sued CU for violating Colorado law. The court dismissed the

lawsuit, but an appeal quickly brought victory. The CU Board of Regents

voted to appeal.

On Monday, the Colorado Supreme Court agreed to grant a writ of

certiorari to CU in their appeal.

At issue, states the court, is:

• Whether the General Assembly intended the Concealed Carry Act

to divest the Board of Regents of its constitutional and statutory

authority to enact safety and welfare measures for the University of

Colorado’s campuses.

• Whether a constitutional challenge to a statute or ordinance

regulating the right to bear arms is governed by the deferential

“rational basis” standard of review or a more stringent “reasonable

exercise” standard of review.

Gun control advocate Paul Helmke issued a statement, saying

“We urge the Court to allow the University of Colorado to

continue to protect student safety by prohibiting armed

9

students and visitors.”

Oddly enough, safety appears to be the last thing on the minds of Paul

Helmke or the CU board of regents; crime at CU has risen 35 percent in

the past four years under CU’s gun ban, while crime at nearby Colorado

State University has dropped 60 percent in the same time frame. (CSU

has allowed concealed carry by licensed individuals since 2003 without

incident.)

“Gun control advocates stubbornly stick to their theory that

paper and ink on the doors will prevent crime,” stated SCCC

President David Burnett.

“While they desperately pursue validation from higher courts,

14 other colleges have recognized that the fear of

encountering armed resistance repels criminals far better

Ellk & Deer Hunters Fared Wellin Montana Opening WeekendOCT 25, 2010 04:37P.M.

Ellk & Deer Hunters Fared Well in Montana Opening Weekend

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks

MALTA, Mont. --(Ammoland.com)- For the first time in recent history,

deer and elk hunters had two weekend days to head to the field for the

opening of the big game rifle season.

General deer and elk seasons opened on Saturday, instead of Sunday,

this year.

This extra day of hunter opportunity did not directly translate into

double hunter numbers or harvest from past opening Sundays, but

Region 2 hunter check station data for the weekend did show hunter

success rates on par with the past five years—with an average of 9

percent of hunters bringing home game in the season’s first two days.

Over 2,800 hunters passed through the three Montana Fish Wildlife &

Parks (FWP) check stations in west-central Montana – located near

Darby, Bonner and Anaconda - this opening weekend, compared to

2,715 on opening Sunday last year. These hunters checked a total of 251

animals, including 137 elk, 26 mule deer and 83 white-tailed deer. Last

year, on opening day, hunters reported 100 elk, 17 mule deer, and 44

white-tailed deer.

Because of the two-day opening weekend this year, direct comparisons

can’t be made to deer and elk harvest numbers in previous openers, but

the region’s check stations still had stories to tell.

Although the 1,082 hunters that passed through the Darby check station

in the Bitterroot Valley over two days almost equaled the 5-year average

of 1,050 for opening day, more of these hunters had elk than in recent

years. The harvest of 81 elk through Darby was the highest ever recorded

in 57 years for this point in the season. Approximately 75% of these elk

were harvested in the Big Hole Valley. FWP counts harvest from the Big

Hole because many of these elk winter in the East Fork of the Bitterroot

(Hunting District 270). Very few harvested elk came from the West Fork

of the Bitterroot where elk numbers are well below objective and FWP

has nearly eliminated antlerless elk harvest opportunity.

Hunters reported 26 elk through the Anaconda station, and harvest

locations were widely scattered from the drainages leading to the check

station.

“This was a great opening weekend for elk hunters in the

Upper Clark Fork,” FWP Wildlife Biologist, Ray Vinkey said.

White-tailed deer harvest over the weekend was down in the Blackfoot

compared to the five-year average for opening day due largely to more

conservative hunting seasons for does and fawns. FWP eliminated the

traditional first eight-day either sex season for white-tails this year for

the first time in over a decade. Hunters still reported harvesting 58

white-tailed deer, this year, which included 44 bucks.

By the end of the weekend, rain was falling across most of the western

Montana valleys and snow was beginning to collect in the higher

elevations, giving a promising outlook to harvest success for the

remainder of the season’s first week.

FWP Wildlife Manager Mike Thompson noted that the two-day opener

combined with an early youth deer hunt threw the hunter travel patterns

off a little bit this year and made it tricky to get a good read on how

harvest totals are standing compared to years past.

“We’ll have to wait to see how harvest totals play out over the

season, but so far the check station data is telling us that,

overall, hunters had a pretty good weekend out there,”

Thompson said.

Is Colorado Senator MichaelBennet Anti-Gun? Appears So!OCT 25, 2010 04:25P.M.

Is Colorado Senator Michael Bennet Anti-Gun? Appears So!

National Association for Gun Rights

Colorado -–(Ammoland.com)- I would like to tell you he isn’t, but

there’s no getting around the evidence. But more on that shortly.

Sometimes people make the mistake of believing that simply because a

politician says “I’m pro-gun” it means he or she will vote for freedom

once elected to office.

I hope you don’t make that mistake.

You see, the United States Senate is only one or two votes away from

taking away your right to keep and bear arms.

It is extremely dangerous for gun owners to take politician’s word,

especially during an election season. Even the smallest mistake in trust

could have disastrous consequences.

Consider this: We have the most anti-gun administration in years. The

last time we had executives this radical, the Brady Bill was shoved down

our throats, banning an entire class of semi-automatic hunting and

sporting rifles and stripping rights from gun owners.

In other words, it is absolutely critical for gun owners to know where

every candidate stands on liberty, especially in the U.S. Senate.

That’s why we sent surveys to candidates in the Colorado Senate race,

asking specific questions about their stance on your right to keep and

bear arms.

*123456* Lineitem #123456, tabblo #1, page 10 (10 of 20), generated 2010-10-26 02:25:27.233641 on g1t0238, dpi=225

The results may surprise you.

First, the good news:

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ken Buck answered the National

Association for Gun Rights’ 2010 Federal Candidate Survey 100% pro-

gun.

Ken Buck has a specific plan to oppose all gun legislation and protect

your rights.

But now for some bad news:

Democrat Senator Michael Bennet refused to answer our survey.

Unfortunately, when a candidate ignores our survey, it means they will

vote for gun control legislation if elected. It means they are hiding their

views.

But that’s not all.

Senator Bennet actually has a voting record, and it’s not good.

Bennet has routinely voted for gun control.

In fact, Senator Bennet has voted:

• to confirm the most anti-gun Attorney General in American

history;

• to confirm two of the most anti-gun Supreme Court nominees ever

offered;

• to confirm a new anti-gun “Regulatory Czar”.

…And the list goes on.

Bennet’s record is one of supporting gun control – even when the stakes

are high – and opposing pro-gun reforms.

That’s why it is vital in this election to make your voice heard.

Nothing gets my blood boiling more than politicians who believe in

compromising your rights for the sake of advancing their own careers,

especially when those rights are guaranteed by our Constitution.

Now we need to make sure that these politicians know whose rights they

are protecting and standing up for.

Here’s what you can do:

1. Call Senator Bennet’s office and tell him to apologize for his anti-

gun voting record. Demand that he answer the survey from the

National Association of Gun Rights and pledge that he will stand

up against anti-gun legislation in the future.

2. Thank Republican candidate Ken Buck for his staunch support of

the Second Amendment and for pledging to fight against efforts to

curb those rights.

There’s no question about it, the upcoming election is an historic one

that will greatly affect the direction our great country is headed, more so

than at any time in our lifetime.

With so much at stake, I am going above and beyond to make sure that

every person in Colorado who cares about the Second Amendment

knows exactly where their candidates stand.

But even more important, contact Senator Bennet to demand

he answer some hard questions about his views on the

Second Amendment.

Act fast. There’s not a moment to lose.

Sincerely, Dudley Brown

Executive Director

P.S. Make Senator Bennet apologize for his anti-gun voting record.

Contact his office and demand he answer the National Association for

Gun Rights survey and pledge to stand up against anti-gunners in

Washington.

And while you’re at it, thank Ken Buck for not compromising and for

answering his Candidate Survey 100% in favor of supporting your right

to keep and bear arms.

About:

The National Association for Gun Rights was founded in 2001 to serve as

a grassroots gun rights group focusing on building state-level gun rights

groups and lobbying for pro-gun federal legislation. Brown has been a

gun lobbyist for more than 17 years. Visit: www.nationalgunrights.org

National Wildlife RefugesHonored With Federal Energy &Water Management AwardsOCT 25, 2010 04:16P.M.

National Wildlife Refuges Honored With Federal Energy &

Water Management Awards

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- Two national wildlife refuges on

opposite coasts received 2010 Federal Energy and Water Management

Awards from the Department of Energy for their innovative, sustainable

designs of visitor centers and administrative headquarters.

The two U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service winners were Parker River

National Wildlife Refuge in Massachusetts and Inland Northwest

National Wildlife Refuge Complex, located on Turnbull National Wildlife

Refuge in Washington. The winners were announced during an awards

ceremony on October 7 in Washington, DC.

The Federal Energy and Water Management Awards recognize

individuals, groups and agencies for their outstanding contributions in

the areas of energy efficiency, water conservation and the use of

advanced and renewable energy technologies at federal facilities.

The Parker River Refuge Visitor Center and Administrative

Headquarters ( http://www.fws.gov/northeast/parkerriver/) was built in

2003 as a model of sustainable design, complete with passive solar

techniques, super-insulation of the building envelope, high-efficiency

lighting, and a geothermal open loop ground source heat pump that

reduces energy use by 41 percent as compared to a traditional office

building. Although the land around the building was restored to its

natural habitat, highly corrosive groundwater caused the geothermal

system to fail. Parker River Refuge was undeterred.

The refuge transformed the setback into a success by installing a solar

photovoltaic (PV) system that generates about 48 megawatt-hours per

year and supplies 33 percent of the building’s electrical needs. The

building also converted from geothermal to a natural gas-fired ENERGY

STAR heating system. These measures saved more than 115 million Btu

and 31 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions while reducing energy

costs by more than one third in FY2009. Even greater energy savings are

expected for FY2010, now that the PV system has had a full year of

operation. More than 255,000 visitors come through the center each

year and learn about the system’s performance by visiting the interactive

display.

The 6,957 square-foot headquarters and visitors center at Inland

Northwest National Wildlife Refuge Complex, Cheney, Washington,

incorporates numerous energy-saving strategies, including super-

insulation, a cool roof, energy-efficient LED lighting with occupancy

sensors, triple-paned low-emissivity windows, optimal building

orientation, and local stone and concrete to enhance thermal mass and

help maintain comfortable temperatures. The main building uses a

14.35-ton geothermal heat pump with an overhead electric forced-air

system for heating and cooling, a 4.9- kilowatt grid-tied solar

photovoltaic array for electricity and a flat-plate roof-mounted solar

collector system for hot water.

To conserve water, the grounds were landscaped with native plant

species; low-flow plumbing fixtures were used; and bioswales were

installed for parking lot runoff. Most of the building materials have a

high recycled content, and more than half of the construction waste was

recycled. The efficient design reduces energy use by about 32 percent as

compared to an average building; 15.5 megawatt-hours of renewable

power save at least 10 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually.

The visitor area of the new headquarters will include information

describing the sustainability and energy efficiency of the buildings.

Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge (http://www.fws.gov/turnbull/)

welcomes about 49,000 visitors annually and offers recreational and

educational opportunities year-round.

The Service is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of its facilities

and becoming carbon neutral by 2020, as outlined in its recently

finalized climate change strategy (

http://www.fws.gov/home/climatechange/strategy.html).

“The work of national wildlife refuges is essential not only in

protecting wildlife habitat, but also in leading by example in

energy efficiency,” said Acting Service Director Rowan Gould.

“Parker River National Wildlife Refuge and Inland Northwest

National Wildlife Refuge Complex are prime examples of how

we intend to reach our goal by 2020.”

The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others

to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats

Anchorage 2ATF Endorses JoeMiller For SenateOCT 25, 2010 01:16P.M.

Anchorage 2ATF Endorses Joe Miller For Senate

Anchorage Second Amendment Task Force

Anchorage, AK --(Ammoland.com)- The Anchorage Second

Amendment Task Force has decided unanimously to endorse Joe Miller

for the Senate race. The 2ATF forum members have spoken with many of

the network members and the response for Miller was overwhelming

after the July 22nd candidates forum.

Network members like Miller’s straight forward answers to questions.

They said there was nothng concealed in his responses. There has been a

great deal of concern about the Murkowski camp ignoring repeated

requests to participate in the forum.

Senator Murkowski earned a D rating from the NRA until she started

holding NRA Trap Shoot fund raisers which elevated her to an A rating.

The Senator has voted against gun owner rights many times. She voted

for the most un-American, anti-Second Amendment attorney general in

the history of the United States which shows poor taste and judgment.

Gun Owners of America (GOA) labeled her as a ‘compromiser’ because of

her drifting with the wind. How many times have the NRA and GOA

urged us to write to Murkowski to persuade her to vote American?

She eventually did change, but why was it necessary for us to

write to her? What part of ‘inalienable right’ doesn’t she

understand?

Lisa stood against America with her vote to expand the gun ban in

National Parks. She voted against the repeal of concealed carry

restrictions and against the sale of confiscated weapons while in the

State House. How short is the memory of the NRA? The NRA fell asleep

at the wheel on this one. Human error?

The Senator now claims the NRA is endorsing her. Our inquiry to the

NRA confirms this is not true. The NRA is endorsing the Republican

Candidate. We were told the Senator claims Chris Cox of the NRA gave

her the endorsement. Cox may have given his personal endorsement but

Cox doesn’t speak for the NRA on this issue.

Her opponent is Joe Miller, who earned his ‘A’ rating the hard way. He’s

displayed the same courage on his web site, by posting all relevant,

historical documents about himself, as he displayed in combat. His

background is infinitely superior and more qualified than Murkowski’s

was at any point in her life.

We support Joe Miller for the next U.S. Senator

from Alaska!!

All you have to do is fill the oval next to Millers name. You don’t even

need to know how to spell it…

The mission of The Anchorage Second Amendment Task Force is to

provide Alaskans with the knowledge of the meaning and true purpose of

M855A1 Enhanced Performance Round

ATK

MINNEAPOLIS, MN --(Ammoland.com)- ATK (NYSE: ATK) has

received orders from the U.S. Army’s Program Manager for Maneuver

Ammunition Systems (PM-MAS) for nearly 300 million rounds of the

new M855A1 Enhanced Performance Round (EPR).

The EPR is an enhanced version of the M855 5.56mm cartridge, used by

U.S. troops since the early 1980s.

ATK is producing the new cartridge at the Lake City Army Ammunition

Plant in Independence, Mo. ATK produced the initial 20 million rounds

of M855A1, which were delivered to the troops in Afghanistan earlier this

year.

“This is a significant breakthrough in ammunition

performance for America’s warfighters,” said Mark Hissong,

ATK Small Caliber Systems Vice President and General

Manager.

“To ensure optimal performance, ATK and the Army put the

EPR through the most rigorous and thorough test regime of

any round we have ever produced. The result is the successful

fielding of a high-performance round that is in theater today,

and capable of providing superior firepower in any combat

condition.”

ATK partnered with the Army to develop a flexible manufacturing plan

to rapidly transition the EPR program into high-volume production. The

new round offers a higher velocity for more energy on target, improved

hard-target capability, and greater accuracy and consistency for

effectiveness at long range.

The round’s technological advancements, coupled with ATK’s innovative

approach to ammunition engineering, have delivered what the Army

calls “the most significant advancement in general purpose small caliber

ammunition in decades.”

ATK is a premier aerospace and defense company with operations in 24

states, Puerto Rico and internationally, and revenues of approximately

$4.8 billion. News and information can be found on the Internet at

Take a Kid Pheasant HuntingSaturday, October 30OCT 25, 2010 11:07A.M.

Take a Kid Pheasant Hunting Saturday, October 30

New Jersey Fish and Game

Trenton, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- The NJDEP Division of Fish and

Wildlife reminds young hunters that the popular Take a Kid Hunting

programs are in full swing for the fall 2010 season, and more excitement

is on the way with Youth Pheasant and Upland Bird hunt day scheduled

for Saturday October 30.

The Take a Kid Hunting Program offers youth hunters the opportunity

for quality hunting experiences that are valuable in shaping their

appreciation and enjoyment of hunting. The youth hunting programs

provide special days when families, friends and more experienced

hunters have the opportunity to share their hunting skills and outdoor

knowledge with a new generation of hunters.

The shared knowledge and memorable Youth Day hunting experiences

increase the likelihood of young hunters choosing to continue to hunt as

they grow older.

Pheasant Hunt

The Take a Kid Hunting Pheasant Hunt allows properly licensed youth

hunters to hunt on one of ten stocked Wildlife Management Areas

(WMA) on Saturday October 30. The Division Fish and Wildlife will

stock approximately 2,000 pheasants on the designated WMAs for both

guided and non-guided pheasant hunts.

The popular guided pheasant hunts offered through a cooperative

arrangement between the Division of Fish and Wildlife and the New

Jersey State Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs are all filled and

registration is closed. These hunts are offered on the Whittingham, Black

River, Clinton, Assunpink, Colliers Mills, Millville, Peaslee and Winslow

Wildlife Management Areas only. All pre-registered guided hunt

participants must be accompanied to the check-in by a parent or

The Flatbrook and Glassboro Wildlife Management Areas will be stocked

with pheasants for youth hunters who are not signed up for a guided

hunt on the other WMAs. Flatbrook and Glassboro will be open all day

for youth to hunt pheasant under the direct supervision of a properly

licensed, non-shooting adult 21 years of age or older. Additionally, the

eight WMAs where the guided hunts are scheduled are open after 1:00

p.m. for all youth hunters. Plenty of stocked pheasants remain after the

guided hunts on these WMAs and afternoon hunts can be productive and

enjoyable for youth hunters.

Upland Bird Hunting Day

The Youth Upland Bird Hunting Day provides a great opportunity for

hunters belonging to semi-wild preserves to introduce youth hunters to

upland bird hunting without competition from adult hunters.

Youth hunters with a valid youth license, under the direct supervision of

a New Jersey licensed, non-hunting adult 21 years or older, will be

permitted to hunt on licensed semi-wild hunting preserves on this day.

Youths may hunt for pheasant, quail and/or chukar from 8 a.m. to

sunset on October 30.

Information on all of the Take a Kid Hunting programs is provided in the

August 2010 Hunting and Trapping Issue of the New Jersey Fish and

Wildlife Digest, which is available at license agent locations or online at

www.njfishandwildlife.com/dighnt.htm.
