In the first section of this class you get to learn the traditional hunting methods of archery and primitive trapping skills in a fun and informative way as we explore techniques for effective hunting of large and small game. Bring your own bow from home or let us know if you wish to borrow a bow. (No animals will be hunted during the first week.)
The second segment includes the animal processing class during which we will be participating in the annual moose hunt with our local hunting team. This part will give you an understanding of modern hunting methods using firearms and hunting dogs.
(We have a quota for harvesting several moose, class participants may sit with a hunter but will not be using firearms themselves- see the Animal processing class description for more details)
