Deer hunting clinic offered by California Department of Fish and Game
The California Department of Fish and Game will be holding a deer hunting clinic on June 18 as part of its advanced hunter education program.
Co-sponsored by the Pacific Coast Hunter Education Assn. and the California Deer Assn., the class will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Canada De Los Osos Ecological Reserve in Santa Clara County.
The clinic, specifically designed for hunting deer in California, will cover deer biology; hunting locations, techniques and requirements; methods for locating deer; field dressing and care of game.
The cost is $45 and space is limited, so those interested are advised to register early. A barbecue lunch is available for an additional $10.
Those 16 or younger will be admitted free but must be accompanied by an adult. Registration, including fee payment, closes two weeks before the workshop date and can be completed online. After registering, participants will receive an email with a map to the facility and a list of items to bring. For more information email or call DFG Lt. Dan Lehman at (916) 358-4356.
