Take a Wild Turkey Course
Here's a chance to get involved in one of the most exciting and accessible hunting opportunities in the province. For those of you who would like to take the Wild Turkey Course, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters will be running a course on site at the show, March 17 & 18.
The seminar will provide information on the natural history of wild turkeys, hunting safety and ethics, hunting regulations, hunting techniques, equipment and calling. All seminars are taught by experienced wild turkey hunters. At the end of the seminar day, the Ministry of Natural Resources gives a written, multiple-choice test. Everyone who passes the test will receive the certificate necessary to purchase a turkey hunting license.
Attendance at a course is mandatory for anyone wishing to hunt wild turkeys in Ontario for the first time. However, these courses are also open to nonhunters interested in the wild turkey.
