NCWRC invites waterfowl hunters to Raleigh on Dec. 9, 11

The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission has scheduled two free seminars next week for waterfowl hunters at the Centennial Campus Center for Wildlife Education in Raleigh.

The seminars are scheduled for Dec. 9 and 11, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., with online pre-registration required. The seminars are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis with limited space available. To pre-register, visit www.ncwildlife.org/Learning/SkillsBasedSeminars.aspx

The Commission partnered with the Delta Waterfowl Foundation to design seminars for both new and experienced waterfowl hunters. Chris Williams, senior director of the Delta Waterfowl Foundation, will conduct the seminars. Topics include waterfowl identification and biology, hunting methods, decoys and calling, firearms and ammunition selection, specialty clothing, watercraft, water safety, cleaning and cooking birds and how to gain additional hunting information.

The Centennial Campus Center for Wildlife Education is located on the first floor of the Wildlife Commission’s headquarters at 1751 Varsity Drive on N.C. State University’s Centennial Campus in Raleigh. It is one of four learning centers operated across the state by the Wildlife Commission, and features interactive exhibits highlighting Piedmont wildlife species and habitats.
