Wild turkey hunting clinic scheduled Nov. 7, a week before fall turkey season starts
A wild turkey hunting clinic will be held Nov. 7 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Rancho Jamul Ecological Reserve in San Diego County.
Co-sponsored by the Department of Fish and Game and the National Wild Turkey Federation San Diego chapter, the timing of the clinic is opportune -- the fall wild turkey hunting season opens Nov. 14 and Thanksgiving is right around the corner.
Topics to be covered include wild turkey habits and habitats, hunting regulations, proper types of firearms and ammunition, hunter safety, responsibilities and ethics and game care and cooking.
The cost to attend is $40. Children 16 and younger accompanied by a paid parent or guardian will be admitted free.
Participants can print a registration form online or call (916) 358-4356 to request a form via mail. Once registered, attendees will receive a map to the facility and a list of items to bring.
This is the final advanced hunting clinic being offered by the DFG this year.
