SALEM, Ore.—Youth hunters (age 17 and under) who will have completed hunter education by the time of the event can sign up now for ODFW's free pheasant hunts happening around the state starting in September, https://myodfw.com/workshops-and-events/youth-upland-bird-hunts-statewide.
ODFW and partners release pen-raised pheasants for each special hunt, giving youth a unique hands-on hunt opportunity. Some hunt locations include safety presentations, shotgun skills clinics, a hunter safety field day prior to the hunt, volunteer mentors and trained dogs.
Youth should register advance for most events, see the 2025 youth upland bird hunts page for more details. Register by logging in to the youth's account at MyODFW's Licensing page. Then go to Purchase from the Catalog and look under the Category: Classes & Workshops / Outdoor Skills. Remember to update account with valid email address, details for the event will be sent out prior to the hunt start date.
The hunt events are free. Youth hunters age 12-17 must have a valid hunting license ($10), an upland game bird validation ($4), (free for age 11 and under to hunt) and carry a valid hunter safety education card (orange temporary or permanent card). Purchase before the event, online or at a license sales agent. Licenses and validations will not be sold at the events.
"Youth pheasant hunts are a great opportunity for young hunters to experience early success and put the lessons learned in hunter safety education to work in the field," said Jered Goodwin, ODFW hunter education coordinator.
