This registration is an application to participate in the hunt. Applying does not guarantee a spot on the hunt. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is offering a mentored dove hunting experience at the Jay and Carolyn Henges Wetland Education and Conservation Center. This program is designed for youth hunters to gain experience in dove hunting with the guidance of skilled mentors in a safe, supportive environment. Participants will learn the basics of dove hunting, including firearm safety, hunting regulations, species identification, ethical hunting practices, and shooting techniques. This hands-on learning opportunity is intended to build skills and confidence while fostering a lifelong appreciation for Missouri’s hunting heritage and natural resources. Participation is free, but registration is required. After registration, candidates will need to complete a questionnaire to be considered for the hunt. Please note: registering does not guarantee a spot in the hunt. Due to limited space, participants will be selected based on eligibility, with priority given to youth who have never hunted before. All selected participants must attend a mandatory pre-hunt orientation at the August A. Busch Shooting Range and Outdoor Education Center on August 18 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. to be eligible to participate in the hunt. Participants must be Hunter Education Certified. Selected participants will be contacted with further details and instructions. Scott Boyd
