Join us for this beginner deer hunting workshop on Nov. 1 from 8:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. at Atterbury Fish & Wildlife Area. Deer hunting is a great activity that can help you put wild game on the table and practice your skills in the woods this fall! Whether you're new to hunting, or getting geared up to try something new this season, we look forward to seeing you!

This adults-oriented (16+) workshop will cover basic deer biology, hunting tips, gear selection, safety, regulations, and even ways to take your harvest from field to fork! While hunter education is not required for this workshop, the content will build upon the basic principles of hunter education. Prior certification in hunter education, either in person or online is recommended. Find more information on online hunter education here.

The class will consist of an hour and a half long presentation with breaks followed by hands-on activities to help solidify your deer hunting knowledge and practice skills you may use in the field. Participants can expect to do a small amount of walking (up to one mile). Pants and closed-toe shoes are recommended.

Please register to attend this free workshop. See you there!
