Agenda 10/23/2012 Item #16D 7 10/23/2012 Item 16.D.7.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the Chairman to sign, three Memorandums of Agreement with the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in order to allow FWC to conduct
Youth Hunts for Collier County residents at Pepper Ranch Preserve in November 2012, January
2013,and February 2013.
OBJECTIVE: To facilitate FWC sponsored youth hunts at Pepper Ranch Preserve.
CONSIDERATIONS: At its January 12, 2010 meeting, Agenda Item 10D, the Board directed the
County Attorney and County Manager to work with FWC to coordinate a youth hunt program (Youth
Hunt or Program) for Collier County residents at Pepper Ranch Preserve.
This item is to seek Board approval of three Youth Hunt Memorandums of Agreement. By entering into
these agreements with FWC, the Board will become a volunteer landowner with the Program, thereby
allowing FWC administered youth hunts for Collier County residents to occur at Pepper Ranch Preserve.
Adult volunteers who have successfully passed a criminal background history, and are qualified, will plan
and facilitate the hunts.
Participants in the Youth Hunting Program of Florida must:
• Be 12 to 17 years old;
• Complete and submit the Youth Huntinc Program of Florida Application. (Attached as back-up
for informational purposes);
• complete the Florida Hunter Safety Program;
• be accompanied by a parent or guardian;
• Complete a Marksmanship Certification. (Attached as back-up for informational purposes);
• Complete the Unconditional Release of Liability Risks form. (Attached as back-up for
informational purposes);
• Submit a refundable deposit to secure position once selected for a youth hunt to insure all youth
hunting opportunities are utilized.
The Memorandums of Agreement and Unconditional Release of Liability Risks form have been reviewed
by the County's Risk Management Department and are acceptable. The Final Management Plan for
Pepper Ranch Preserve, approved by the Board on June 28, 2011, Agenda Item 16E6, includes youth
hunts as an allowed activity.
FWC has previously administered youth hunts where hunting was limited to county residents. FWC
advises that such limitation often results in the youth hunt not being full. As such, FWC will first accept
youths that are Collier County residents,and, if the hunt is not full,it will open the hunt up to Non-Collier
County residents. Such residency guidelines are referenced in Exhibit A of the Youth Hunt
Memorandums of Agreement.

item requires a majority vote. -JW

A
Hunter Safety and Public Shooting Ranges Section
Youth Hunting Program of Florida:. Z ' o
Marksmanship Certification g'QTtoN o"`
The responsible pursuit of hunting involves many ethical considerations. A few of these are as follows:
• Being familiar with the firearm or bow to facilitate its proper and safe use.
• Being confident with the use of the firearm or bow to enable an enjoyable hunt.
• Being able to avoid a poorly placed shot and its consequences.
In order to further these and other considerations, the following three rules have been established:
1. Each participant(youth hunter) selected for a YHPF youth hunt is required to practice with the firearm
or bow, intended to be used on the youth hunt, within 14 days prior to the youth hunt. This practice
may be accomplished over a period of days. This will require a minimum of the following:
a.) For rifle hunts - 10 rounds of factory load ammunition placed in a target at a range of
100 yards; this completed form and the target should be presented at check-in for the
youth hunt.
b.) For shotgun hunts - 10 rounds of factory load ammunition at appropriate targets, clays,
etc; this completed form should be presented at check-in for the youth hunt.
c.) For bow hunts - 10 arrows placed in a archery target at a range of 20 yards; this
completed form and the target should be presented at check-in for the youth hunt.
Should these not be presented at check-in, the Huntmaster will have the option of excluding the youth
hunter from hunting until proficiency has been demonstrated.
Note: Should the event require different criteria (such as a shotgun patterned at 30 yards for turkey
hunting) please consult with your Huntmaster for the appropriate recommended practices.
2. Upon arrival at the youth hunt, the participant (youth hunter) will be required to demonstrate
marksmanship proficiency and knowledge as well as to verify that the firearm or bow is still properly
sighted. The Huntmaster may exclude any participant from hunting until this requirement has been
accomplished. In the event that the participant's firearm or bow is not properly functioning or appears
unsafe, an alternate firearm or bow may be used.
3. A marksmanship shooting activity will be held as soon as practical on each youth hunt. At that time, all
participants (youth hunters)will be required to show proficiency and knowledge of their firearm or bow
in order to be allowed to hunt.
We certify that (youth hunter) did use a
(firearm or bow)fired at yards on
(date)and did exhibit sufficient skills to be allowed to participate
in a wild game youth hunt.
