For those interested in hunting

Young people with an interest in hunting, shooting sports, and wildlife and fisheries management will work closely with DNR and local conservationists in a safe, mentored setting. Participants will learn about natural resources stewardship, wildlife and fisheries biology, and safety and ethical conduct in the field. They will also have the chance to watch and try activities such as archery, sporting clays, turkey hunting and fishing. DNR will provide all the equipment and certified instructors will oversee all shooting activities.

The events will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
