I tried to find the sign up fpot on the dnr website and found nothing.  I went to the local els station and tried to signup and they had nothing on their comp so they called and asked about the father hennepin and camp riply youth hunts and the person on the other end of the phone said that there isn't any youth hunts in father hennepin and never was.  And they only had info on the general hunt in camp riply.
I sent an e-mail to the dnr yesterday morning and have heard nothing yet

So my question is,  Did I miss the signup window or was the youth hunts a casualty of the gov shutdown?

I tried e-mailing a person that I know at the dnr and had forgot about.  He responded right away and here is what he said.


"They are a casualty but not fatal. The hunts should be up on the web site very soon. I have attached the deer lottery hunts along with an upland bird opportunity. Not sure why they said Father Hennepin never had a hunt, because we had one last year; however their target goal for deer was reached last year and we will not be having a hunt there this year.

As for applying for Camp Ripley, you can…the word from our licensing center is the message has yet to be posted on the agents ELS screens. This should occur very soon, but with that said, you can apply using the information on the 2011 Special Youth Deer Hunt Orange Announcement and the system will work.

Hope this shed the light you were looking for.

Good Luck!"
