Primitive Hunting Class

Picture

For ages 18+ and 14+ when accompanied by an adult.

This class will cover the knowledge and skills to find wildlife, get close to them, and even take an accurate shot with a bow. You will get a chance to learn and practice skills including tracking, wildlife behavior, bird language, stalking and camouflage, archery and shooting from various positions and angles, tracking weather patterns and how it affects wildlife, and more. We discuss respect for the animals and the natural world throughout this class. Food from animals is a gift.

Bring a bow and arrows if you have them as we will use them to practice stalking & shooting through various terrain and vegetation.

*This class is taught outdoors where we will be very hands-on. However, we will not be actively hunting in this class but you will leave with the knowledge to pursue that on your own.

"I wanted to share that with some of the techniques I learned in the (primitive hunting) class, I've had a blast hunting so far. Gotten multiple deer within 10 yards or less from me and I've had birds land on me while stalking. So I must be doing something right! Thanks!"
