MADISON — The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will host the third of several educational hunting webinars on Wednesday, Sept. 21 for members of the public that are new to hunting or hunting curious.

The webinar series is in partnership with the National Wild Turkey Federation, Pheasants Forever and Becoming an Outdoorswoman. The series is designed for those interested in learning about hunting, fishing and trapping.

Each episode will feature guest speakers sharing their experiences getting started with hunting and include discussions addressing common challenges faced by those new to hunting, fishing or trapping.

This month’s webinar is titled — Wanna Go Hunting: Where Can We Hunt? —  and will share information about finding lands open to public hunting and tips on getting access to private land.

“Research shows that securing access to hunting land is one of the biggest challenges for all hunters, new and experienced,” said Bob Nack, DNR Recruitment, Retention and Reactivation Team Supervisor. “In this webinar, we will hear from new hunters about their experience with finding a place to hunt and discuss tips for others.” 

Following a brief presentation and panel discussion, the audience will have opportunities to ask questions that panelists will answer at the end of the program. Each webinar will be recorded and available online.

Wisconsin is home to over 7 million acres of public land, and a majority of it is open to hunting. Time spent hunting and exploring these areas with family and friends will generate memories for years.
