    Default TOMO Youth Hunt

    Wood ducks, Greenwings, Mallards, Mergansers were shot "at". LOL SCDNR does an incredible job with these TOMO hunts and the land management at Bonneau Ferry is the best in the State too.

    These hunts expose kids to waterfowl hunting and the outdoors. They might get to see their first Bald Eagle, River Otter, hear Barred Owls, or get to hold their first harvested Wood Duck. I am beyond blessed that my adult sons participate in these TOMO hunts too!

    If anyone is interested in being a mentor for duck, deer, turkey, dove, squirrel hunts please reach out to SCDNR! These hunts are some of the coolest experiences with these kids and adults.

    Well it is after the regular hunting season for duck. Ducks still around have been hounded for more the 1500 miles and 60 days. Youth hunt needs to have at least a chance to kill a few birds.

    Understand the length of season, but why preach against impoundments and then go hunt on one. I’am all for youth hunting on WMA ‘s .

    I would think dnr copuld set aside areas on WMA that are not ever hunted except on youth day and still have a good hunt for the kids. Probably easier, not cheaper, in a flooded corn field.

    Understand your point, but the I individual who started these thread is against hunting over agriculture. Either your for it or against it

    Unfortunately I don't get to choose what SCDNR does with their impoundments. I didn't see any corn in the pond, nothing but stalks left. The pond was full of invertebrates and native SAV for the ducks to load up on before migrating back North, great stuff for the kids to see and learn about. Sesbania was the best habitat in the pond and the ducks keyed in on it.
