The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission will again be hosting a free "Waterfowl Hunting Workshop" this season at the following location:
Saturday, November 12, 2011 8a-5p
Palm Bay Police Department Firearms Training Center
620 Hurley Rd SW
Palm Bay, Florida 32908
Wetland habitat covers a vast expanse of Florida, and much of this habitat is open and available for public hunting. Large numbers of migratory ducks winter in the Sunshine State, particularly ring-necked ducks, scaup, teal, wood ducks, and wigeon.
In addition, four species, the mottled duck (a.k.a. Florida duck), wood duck, black-bellied whistling duck, and fulvous whistling duck, live in the state year round. Easy access to hunting areas and a hunter success rate nearly twice the national average make Florida a great place to hunt ducks.
This workshop is FREE to all attendees.
Topics to be covered are:
Waterfowl Hunting Ethics
Waterfowl Identification
Waterfowl Org's (Ducks Unlimited, Delta Waterfowl)
Places to Hunt Decoys & Patterns
Shotguns & Ammunition
Boats & Motors
Clothing & Camo
Retriever Training & Handling
Your instructors are:
FWC Research Waterfowl Biologist Jamie Fedderson of the T.M. Goodwin Waterfowl Management Area
Captain Jeff Kraynik - Florida Ducks Unlimited/State Council/Conservation Chair/Local Guide
This is an interactive workshop for both the new & old duck hunters.
"Our goal is to learn from each other"
For more information on either workshop, please contact Biologist Jamie Fedderson @ 321-726-2862 or Captain Jeff Kraynik at (321) 863-9182
