CONCORD, N.H. -- Registration is now open for a course for women who want to learn how to get started hunting ducks and geese. The N.H. Becoming an Outdoors-Woman Program (BOW) presents "Duck, Duck, Goose: An introduction to Waterfowl Hunting," on August 12, 2017, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Owl Brook Hunter Education Center, Holderness, N.H.

Taught by BOW and Hunter Education instructors, this workshop will cover duck biology, basic hunting techniques, essential gear, and staying safe when enjoying this popular outdoor pursuit. Even if you don't have a duck boat or decoys, you can still get out and have a successful waterfowl hunt.

To sign up, go to nhbow.com , where you will be directed to the event registration page.
After registering online, print, fill out, and mail in all the forms with payment by July 17, 2017.

The workshop fee of $55 is due with registration and includes instruction, program materials, use of some equipment, and lunch. Registration is limited to 20 participants. A hunting license is not required during scheduled class time.

"Beyond BOW" workshops are in-depth sessions designed to expand on the offerings of the traditional Becoming an Outdoors-Woman programs, helping women gain the skills needed to participate in outdoor activities on their own.

The New Hampshire Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program is co-sponsored by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department www.wildnh.com and the New Hampshire Wildlife Federation www.nhwf.org .

Very cool program.
I run a youth duck hunting program and 40% of the kids are girls. All of them are serious and very attentive. Some have gone on to harvesting great animals and one is on her way to Westpoint.

That's awesome Zippy.    I have worked various youth outdoors programs in the past. It's very rewarding when you see someone you mentored go on to bigger and better things.
