Free Outdoor Adventure Talk September 19, 2012: Deer Hunting Basics

CONCORD, N.H. – If you're thinking about hunting deer this fall, come learn how to get started at a free talk called "Deer Hunting Basics" on Wednesday, September 19, 2012, at 7 p.m. at the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, 11 Hazen Drive, Concord, N.H. No pre-registration is required.

Whitetail deer are New Hampshire's most sought-after game animal; in 2011, hunters took more than 11,000 deer in the state. At this talk, Presenter Dave Priebe will provide the essential information new whitetail deer hunters need to know. Priebe is a lifelong naturalist, a volunteer New Hampshire hunter education instructor and a Quaker Boy Game Calls Pro-Staff member.  His talk is ideal for new and apprentice hunters.

This talk is part of a fall series of free Wednesday evening outdoor adventure talks at Fish and Game.  The talks continue through October 10. See the full lineup at www.wildnh.com/Newsroom/News_2012/Q3/outdoor_talks-1_overview.html.
