To some, hunting is a tradition, even an instinct, but for many others, the question of "Where do I begin?" is common. Maine provides excellent hunting opportunities and this workshop will help you navigate how to get started.

You will learn:

  • why hunting is an important component in wildlife conservation
  • how to get your hunter education certification
  • about the various types of hunting available in Maine
  • the use firearms, archery, and muzzleloaders
  • about the different seasons and species that may be hunted
  • where to find different various species: big game, small game, waterfowl, others
  • about the equipment used for different types of hunting
  • how to find places to hunt
  • what to do after you've harvested game...and much more.

We'll have examples of various firearms, bows, and crossbows and other equipment to handle and we will answer any questions that you may have. Participants will leave with materials that will help them to get started on the right path.
