Learn To Hunt Deer Programs at Sandhill

Since 1990, Sandhill Outdoor Skills Center has offered Learn to Hunt Deer programs where youth and beginner adults receive training on hunting deer. About 200 youth and beginner adults complete Hunter Safety training and attend a special workshop through the Sandhill Outdoor Skills Center. Fifty to sixty deer are harvested annually by these novice hunters.
