REGISTRATIONS STILL BEING ACCEPTED FOR HUNTING SKILLS SEMINAR

An elk hunting clinic will be held Sept. 12 by the Division of Wildlife in Fort Collins to help hunters improve their skills for the upcoming season.

The Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW) is sponsoring a clinic designed to help hunters improve their skills for the upcoming elk hunting season.

The clinic is a way for elk hunters to learn how and where to hunt elk, and to improve their chances of filling their licenses this season. Preparation for the hunt, elk biology, hunting techniques, ethical hunting, and more will be covered in the presentation.

“Beginning hunters and those with limited elk hunting experience will get the most from the clinic,” said Lisa Evans, Northeast Region Education Coordinator for the DOW.  “The clinic will have a lot to offer in terms of improving hunting skills, how to find quality hunting areas, and how to make sure you have a safe, successful hunt.  Our goal is to help Colorado hunters improve their success in the field and provide an introduction to those who want to learn more about elk hunting.”

The elk hunting clinic will be held Tuesday, Sept. 12 from 6:30 – 9:30 p.m. at the Hilton Inn, 425 W. Prospect, Fort Collins.  The clinic will provide an in-depth look into the habitat and habits of, and effective hunting techniques for the monarch of the Rockies.  Presenters include Wildlife Officer Rick Spowart and DOW Hunting Outreach Coordinator Jim Bulger.

There is a $5 admission fee to register and pre-registration is recommended.  Seating is limited.  To register, call Lisa Evans at (970) 472-4447.  For specific questions about this clinic, contact Lisa Evans at lisa.evans@state.co.us .
