Saturday’s special San Jacinto Wildlife Area Annual Junior Waterfowl Hunt resulted in a good per hunter average for the junior hunters in attendance. Shoverlers were the number one bird taken with Cinnamon Teal taking the second spot for number of birds taken. Tom Trakes, from San Jacinto Wildlife Area, reported that the waterfowl take for the Junior Hunt on Saturday, 2/2/13, was as follows:
74 junior hunters checked in with 42 Northern Shovelers, 3 Bufflehead, 24 Cinnamon Teal, 5 Gadwall, 17 Green Wing Teal, 2 Pintail, 4 Redhead, and 7 Ruddy Ducks. There were no geese harvested at the Junior Hunt on Saturday. 6 coot were also brought in by the juniors on Saturday. This worked out to an average of 1.49 waterfowl per junior hunter. Tom advised that out of 50 reservations issued 21 arrived on time.
Since SoCalHunt couldn’t attend the Junior Hunt this year I’ll be posting a report on the breakfast, lunch and raffle as soon as Tom gets me the info on that. As soon as I have the info I’ll post it here.
