Have you always wanted to hunt for your own food? Are you trying to protect your farm or garden from deer damage?
Join Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources staff and members of the Derby City Branch of the Quality Deer Management Association for a hands-on course designed to give first time hunters basic instruction on acquiring a free-ranging sustainable source of meat.
The course includes one night of classroom instruction followed by a day-long field course. The cost of the course is $30 and includes a 2014-2015 Combination Fishing and Hunting License for Kentucky residents.

The classroom portion of the workshop will be held at the Louisville Nature Center and will cover a variety of topics including deer biology and behavior, the history of whitetail deer in Kentucky, finding a place to hunt and basic hunting strategies. The class room portion of the course will be limited to 30 participants. The field portion of the course, will be held at the Otter Creek Outdoor Recreation Area in Meade County, and will include an introduction to firearms and archery equipment, deer processing and preservation, tree stand safety, hide tanning and the identification plants and habitats important to deer.
