State Game Farm: Learn to Hunt Program

The State Game Farm also provides birds for Pheasant Learn to Hunt Programs statewide. The Learn to Hunt programs are excellent opportunities to provide hunting experience to novice hunters, introduce pheasant hunting to first-time hunters, and share outdoor experiences with others. Pheasant Learn to Hunt programs typically include a full day of classroom and field exercises that cover all aspects of pheasant hunting, including: safe firearm handling, hunting regulations and ethics, upland gamebird biology and management, dog handling, and proper game cleaning techniques. Students typically start the day in the classroom covering the basic rules of firearm safety then practice their shooting skills on the trap range before heading to the field for a pheasant hunt. Students are mentored by volunteers and WDNR staff.

The State Game Farm is proud to support a program that promotes hunter education and recruitment, safe firearm handling, and wildlife conservation.
