PHOENIX – Hunters who have puzzled over the right shot size for ducks, where to find Mearns' quail, or whether a flashlight and gunnysack are really needed to hunt snipe can find the answers to these and other questions at two upcoming seminars hosted by the Arizona Game and Fish Department.

The two-hour seminars are free to the public and will be held Wednesday, Nov. 29 and Thursday, Dec. 14, starting at 7 p.m. at the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s Mesa regional office, 7200 E. University Drive in Mesa. Pre-registration is not required.

“These seminars are designed for the beginner and novice hunter who would like to learn the techniques for putting more game on the table,” says Randy Babb, information and education program manager for the Game and Fish Mesa region. “We’ll provide tips to help ensure a more successful hunt.”

Topics include how and where to hunt a variety of small game species (including quail, doves, ducks and rabbits), firearms, ammunition, regulations and miscellaneous equipment.
