YOUTH BOW HUNTING AWARDS

Preserve. Promote. Protect.

PROMOTE AND RECOGNIZE OUR YOUTH

Pope & Young's Youth Bow Hunting Awards Goals

Pope & Young is dedicated to promoting the sport of bowhunting with today’s youth through outreach programs, youth bowhunting awards, and recognition of the accomplishments from our youth bowhunters.   The goal of our youth programs is to expose them to the joys of chasing big game animals with the bow and arrow and create bowhunters for life!

First Harvest Award

Any youth member harvesting their first big or small game animal (that is legal in the state or jurisdiction of harvest) can submit their harvest to the club for recognition in the "Kevin Hisey Youth Bowhunting Awards" program.  The youth bowhunter will receive a certificate of achievement for their harvest and recognition on the club’s, webite, youth Instagram page, and our magazine.  We will also recognize any subsequent harvest by a youth bowhunter in a similar fashion if they choose to submit them to the club.  A $5 award processing fee is required.  Official rules and forms for the First Harvest Award are available at the link below.
