Duck hunting from the bank is a great way to put wild game on your table and practice your skills in the marsh this fall or winter. Whether you're new to hunting or just geared up to try something different this season, we look forward to seeing you!

This adults-oriented (16+) workshop will cover basic duck biology, how to hunt ducks from the bank, gear selection, safety, regulations, and ways to take your harvest from field to fork (or from the marsh to your mouth, that is!). While hunter education is not required for this workshop, the content will build upon 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 a 45 to 60-minute lecture followed by hands-on activities to help solidify your duck hunting knowledge and practice skills you may use in the field. Participants can expect a small amount of walking (up to one mile). Pants and closed-toe shoes are recommended.

Please register to attend this free workshop. Registration will open Aug. 10. See you there!
