Women who want to learn how to hunt turkeys can get the basics by signing up for the New Hampshire Becoming an Outdoors-Woman “Introduction to Turkey Hunting Workshop.” Sharpen up your skills for the spring gobbler season!
The one-day workshop will be held on March 22, 2014, at the New Hampshire Fish and Game’s Owl Brook Hunter Education Center in Holderness, N.H. Participants will learn about wild turkey habitat and behavior, shotgun handling tips, scouting, calling, safety and ethics, plus how to clean and care for your turkey.

The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department works in partnership with the public to conserve and manage the state’s fish, wildlife and marine resources and their habitats and provide opportunities to use and enjoy these resources. Visit the Fish and Game site.
