The second weekend is a wild bird hunt guided by trained hunters with dogs starting on Saturday, Oct. 22nd. You will learn, in the field, about habitat, cover types, game bird biology, and the do's and don'ts of public land hunting. This will be in pheasant country (outstate) exact location is TBD. You are encouraged to get overnight accommodations and hunt again on Sunday.
