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 Oct. 30, 2015 at 8:15 a.m. until 1:30 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 FSgt. Steve Simpson at simpsons@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.
