October 10, 2014DNR to offer youth deer clinic in Edgefield on Nov. 4
The S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the National Wild Turkey Federation are offering a great opportunity for youth to attend a deer clinic on Nov. 4 at 8:30 a.m. until 1 p.m., in Edgefield County. The free clinic will introduce youth ages 10-17 to the basics of deer hunting. The clinic's hands-on sessions include: game care and prep, tree-stand safety, marksmanship skills, and how to keep it legal while hunting.
The first 15 students who contact Jessica Gibson at gibsonj@dnr.sc.gov will be able to attend.
DNR will confirm your attendance by email with further instructions, so respond quickly for a slot. Lunch will be provided at this free event and parents/guardians are welcome to stay while their students participate. Please keep in mind this is a school holiday for some and not for others.
