Womens Hunter Education Course
McFarland Park, Story County
Saturday, November 3, 2018
Story County Conservation and Iowa DNR are teaming up to
offer Iowa Hunter Education certification in a program designed for women ages
16 and up. This dual component course will include self-paced online study and
culminate with a hands-on Field Day from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on November 3,
2018, at the Story County Conservation Center in McFarland Park, Ames, Iowa.
Women hunters and conservationists will lead the Field Day and provide an
encouraging environment for new hunters, those looking for camaraderie with
other outdoorswomen, or those simply wanting to learn more about conservation
and shooting sports.
Participants must be 16 years of age or older, however,
girls between the ages of 12 and 16 accompanied by an adult participant may
also register and certify.
There is no charge to participate, but in order to
certify, participants must complete the online portion sometime between
registration and the field day and successfully participate in the field day
activities including a short multiple choice test. Field day activities will include a variety
of firearm and archery handling and shooting opportunities, and overview of
Iowa hunting laws and outdoor ethics, and open discussions and Q&A
throughout.
Since this will be a full day, lunch will be on-site. A
light wild game lunch (e.g. venison chili) will be provided. If you have
specific dietary needs or wish for something else, please bring your own lunch,
snacks, or drinks.
Please dress to be
outside.
This workshop is free, and class size will be limited; be
sure to register by October 19th.
Participants must register by
emailing Joli Vollers at joli.vollers@dnr.iowa.gov.
