Saturday, March 7, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Rooster Ranch in Ubly (Huron County)
Huron County is at the northern tip of the Thumb, which is a sub region of Mid Michigan. It is a peninsula, bordered by Saginaw Bay to the west and Lake Huron to the north and east, and has over 90 miles (140 km) of shoreline, from White Rock on Lake Huron to Sebewaing on the Saginaw Bay.
This workshop for beginners will teach you proper, safe shooting and pheasant hunting techniques. Youth and accompanying adults who want to learn to hunt are welcome. No previous experience is required.
First, we’ll cover hunting tools and techniques, hunting ethics and safety. Next, we’ll head to the trap range to practice shooting, then out to the fields to hunt for pheasants. Dogs, their handlers and mentors will be on hand throughout the day.
After hunting, everyone will meet for lunch and a bird-cleaning demonstration before the workshop wraps up.
Cost is $35 for each adult (if hunting) and $10 per child. Ammunition, orange vests and lunch will be provided. Children must have an adult attend with them for supervision, but adults should register if they also want to hunt.
For more information or if you need a loaner gun, please contact Jen Davis at 734-680-6049 or jdavis@nwtf.net.
This event is presented as part of a partnership agreement between the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the National Wild Turkey Federation, with DNR funding support.
