Unfortunately, here in our amazing country we have seen an uptick of young adults using firearms inappropriately to harm themselves and others. This has the capabilities to quickly put a negative connotation on children being around firearms entirely. However, we should take this time to teach our children how to respect these guns and use them for productive matters, such as hunting. Each state has youth days available for almost every hunting season and allowing your child to participate can be an amazing choice.

If you are an avid hunter and want to teach this to your children, along with a respect for firearms, an excellent way is to take them to a local hunting lodge. This can give them a trip to remember while also allowing you to spread a sport that gives you joy. An excellent choice for this trip is Westervelt Lodge, who puts aside a certain time each year for their youth hunts. During this time, only children with parents are allowed to harvest whitetail on this amazing property.

Westervelt Wildlife goes beyond a simple hunt, it is truly an experience. They offer quality housing during your stay and give you the chance to bond with your child. When you pay for your hunt, you will be given a private bedroom and bathroom. However, you will be able to talk and mingle with others who are visiting for the youth hunt, which can be inspiring for your little one.

“We know that in order for our company to stay alive, we must help spread the joy of hunting with the younger generation. We want to make your stay at our lodge as fun and comfortable as possible, which is why we offer amazing amenities and even better hunting opportunities. Please remember that anyone over the age of sixteen must have a proper license and have completed an education course. To learn more about any stipulations or how to book your stay, please feel free to contact us today,” comments the Westervelt Lodge manager, Steven Carroll.

The cost for a weekend at the Westervelt Lodge during their youth days is $1,550 per hunter. Of course, this price includes one child and their accompanying adult who will help them during the hunt and stay. Also, you will get the private room and bath mentioned before, along with; free meals during your stay and three days of hunting experience. If you are interested in taking your child on this once in a lifetime trip, it is important to book your stay early as there is limited room and only a few days available.

Westervelt Lodge began hosting organized deer hunts all the way back in November of 1951. The lodge has grown into 12,000 private acres of amazing hunting land located in West Alabama. The land is frequently managed and maintained to ensure the greatest quality of wildlife. Guests can pursue and harvest a variety of wildlife, including free range whitetail deer and wild turkeys.
