Women interested in hunting upland game birds next fall are invited to attend a clinic March 9-10 in Great Falls to help prepare for the hunt. The clinic begins Friday evening at 6:30 p.m. and runs all day Saturday.

Clinic participants will practice shotgun shooting, learn about different hunting dogs, learn how to identify upland birds and how to care for birds in the field.   At the end of the clinic, participants will take part in a hunting experience.   Participants must provide their own shotgun and ammunition.

The clinic is an extension of the popular Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program sponsored by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, and is co-hosted by the Golden Triangle Sporting Dog Club and the Sun River Skeet Club.
