MADISON, Wis.?? The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will host Learn to Hunt workshops across the state this fall to help Wisconsin hunters become safer, more independent and ethical hunters.

The DNR?s?Learn to Hunt programs, hosted in partnership with volunteer groups,?are great for new hunters and anyone who wants a refresher course before the fall hunting seasons.?

Offerings range from multi-day comprehensive?Hunter Education Classes for those new to the sport to one-day workshops with specific topics like shot-gunning, archery, pheasant, squirrel, deer, grouse and rabbit hunting and hands-on deer butchering.
