Learn to Hunt: Small Game
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is offering a program to teach skills needed to hunt, field dress and cook small game such as rabbits and squirrels to adults who have little to no small game hunting experience.
The August 13th workshop will feature knowledge and skills building sessions with instructors that will provide hands-on learning as well as a live- fire shooting that will teach the basics.
Participants will learn basic strategies for hunting small game such as proper equipment, where to hunt, safe shooting practices, and how to field dress, butcher and cook them. The shooting session will provide lessons on shooting techniques and range time for those looking to improve their shooting skills.
The course runs from 5PM to 8PM and is designed for participants 18 years of age and older. The cost is $25 for the course and will be held at Amana Sportsman’s Club in Amana, Iowa. Space is limited so be sure to register right away!
