Image via Wikipedia Families who want to learn the basics of deer hunting are invited to attend the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Deer Day program. Women, men, and youth 10 and older accompanied by a guardian, are welcome to attend this free event.
Also, people age 16 and older who are taking the online firearms safety course can complete their field day requirement at this event.
The event, hosted by the DNR’s Becoming An Outdoors Family Program, will be from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 14, at the Wilkens’ Farm near Mora in Kanabec County.
Lou Cornicelli, DNR big game program coordinator, will lead off the day with a presentation on white-tailed deer. Afterward, participants will move through a series of hands-on stations where they will learn how to track deer; deer stand placement and safety; and shotgun, rifle, archery and muzzleloader shooting.
Instructors will include DNR wildlife staff, DNR conservation officers, Becoming an Outdoor Family volunteers and members of the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association.
“Deer Day is a wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in learning the basic of deer hunting to get hands-on experience,” said Linda Bylander, Becoming An Outdoors Woman program coordinator.
Register by contacting Bylander by phone at 218-833-8628 or by email at linda.bylander@state.mn.us. Lunch is included with the program.
