Michigan Waterfowl Hunting Clinic

Saturday, Sept. 27, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Carl T. Johnson Hunting and Fishing Center

Mitchell State Park*, Cadillac

This “A to Z” introduction to waterfowl hunting will start in the classroom, then head outside on trails (compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines) for hands-on practice. You’ll learn how to choose a spot, scout effectively, select and set decoys, conceal a layout or blind, call ducks and geese with confidence, and understand licenses, stamps and core regulations so you’re legal and safe on opening day. You’ll leave with practical, firsthand experience to boost your odds this season.

Cost is $35, which includes lunch and door prizes.
