Four seminars are free and open to novice and experienced hunters
The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission and Ducks Unlimited are offering four waterfowl hunting seminars across the state this month.
The free seminars, which will be held from 6 to 9 p.m., are designed for both new and experienced hunters. However, the focus of the seminar will be on new hunters, so experienced attendees are encouraged to bring someone who is new to hunting. Topics will include waterfowl identification, hunting methods, decoys and calling, firearms and ammunition selection, specialty clothing, and bird cleaning and cooking. Pre-registration is required and participants must register online.

The seminars also provide a forum for Ducks Unlimited to promote its Sportsmen for Tomorrow initiative.
“This is Ducks Unlimited’s second year partnering with the Commission on the Waterfowl Hunting Seminars,” said Justin Aycock, the N.C. youth and education coordinator for the North Carolina chapter of Ducks Unlimited. “Sportsmen for Tomorrow’s goal is to promote youth involvement in the outdoors and conservation. These seminars will engage a new generation of sportsmen, so that we can pass on the waterfowl hunting and conservation tradition.”
Ducks Unlimited’s mission is to conserve, restore and manage wetlands and associated habitats for North America’s waterfowl. For more information on Ducks Unlimited, visit www.ducks.org.
