The California Department of Fish and Wildlife announces that the next installment of its advanced hunting clinic series is focused on hunting with kids. On June 11, CDFW will present the class virtually from 6 to 7 p.m.
“In a world that has so many competing attractions, how do we get kids excited about hunting?” ask organizers. This free webinar will discuss practical ways to help young people foster a lifelong passion for the outdoors. Hunting With Kids – The Next Generation of Hunters is designed to show some tried and true strategies which have been used to encourage and motivate young people to enjoy hunting and share the sport with others.

CDFW’s advanced hunting clinics focus on the how-tos of hunting, taking hunters a step beyond the basic hunter education course. The series includes sessions on how to hunt turkey, upland game, waterfowl and big game. Topics covered in each clinic include type of firearm, ammunition, importance of sighting in the firearm, gauging distance, scouting, tracking, field dressing, shoot/don’t shoot scenarios, hunter ethics, landowner-hunter relationships, conservation and safety. CDFW says the goal of this series of hunting clinics is to develop ethical, conservation-minded, successful hunters through education, taking the hunter a step beyond the basic hunter education course.
