As spring turkey season ebbs closer, the Commission will be offering turkey hunting workshops throughout the state. Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone with a little more experience looking to learn something new, our turkey hunting workshops are where you need to be!
In the northeast region, Bill Lewis will be your instructor on Saturday, March 15 in the Sandbar Room at Ponca State Park from 10am-12pm. Bill is an avid turkey hunter and has been enjoying archery for over a decade. He is currently Pro Staff for Mossy Oak Enterprises, Primos Hunting Calls and Mathews Solocam. Bill will cover beginner basics, wild turkey biology, high tech scouting, equipment strategies and advanced hunting techniques. Again, the workshop is free. However, a 2014 park sticker is required to enter the park. Hope to see some of you there! Visit this link to register: http://www.register-ed.com/events/view/44053
