YHEC Challenge set for
Upton next month
CHEYENNE - An annual event that
offers competition and educational opportunities
for kids involving hunter education and
wildlife conservation is rapidly approaching.
The Wyoming State Youth Hunter Education
Challenge is June 11 at the Upton Gun
Club in Upton. The event is for kids 18 and
younger to test their marksmanship in archery,
.22 rifle, shotgun and muzzleloader under
simulated hunting situations on a shooting
range. Participants also have to complete a
wildlife identification test, hunter education
test, map and compass orientation and walk a
hunter ethics skills course where they are given
multiple shoot/don't shoot scenarios. Based on
the simulated hunting licenses the kids receive,
they decide whether or not they can take a
shot. Wyoming Game and Fish Department
wardens are scattered on the course to check
the licenses during the simulation.
This event is part of a nationwide series
sanctioned by Friends of the National Rifle
Association. Game and Fish is a partner in
statewide events, including one held in Thermopolis
last month. An event in Afton is
scheduled for June 3-4.

" Participants can get hands-on training in
eight skill areas, which gives them expertise
in all methods to take all types of game, "
said Katie Simpson, Game and Fish hunter
education coordinator. " YHEC helps build
upon skills learned in basic hunter education
courses and encourages safer, lifelong
hunting habits. "
Kids must have completed a hunter education
course to participate. Those who turn 19
during calendar year 2022 must be enrolled
in high school for the full school year of
2021-22. Kids compete for prizes, including
a Wyoming Game and Fish Commission
hunting tag donated by Commissioner
Richard Ladwig.
This is the 15th year of the state shoot in
Upton. Rick Rothleutner, event organizer, said
the first shoot drew six kids. This year's event
is expected to draw more than 50.
" It's all about the kids. They are our future
hunters, " he said.
