The Carl T. Johnson Hunting and Fishing Center in Cadillac is offering bear hunting clinics Aug. 4 and 18. Students will learn the basics of bear hunting, including rules and regulations, registering a bear, gear, stand placement, habitat, management, baiting and hunting with a dog.
The clinic will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a short lunch break.
