This is an excellent program and a great opportunity to introduce your young hunter to turkeys.

I went through this program with my younger sister a couple years ago and we had a blast. She was paired with a female mentor and we hunted private land. Although we did not get a bird, she had some close calls and we both learned a few things.

Another thing you may have picked up on, is that I went through this with my sister. As long as you are of adult age and have permission to supervise, you do not have to be a parent to participate. Turkey hunting is not something my dad does, but he gave me permission to bring my sister. The point is to introduce new youth to turkey hunting and get them exposed in a safe and educational environment.
