Adult Learn to Hunt Program
Date(s): Sep 6th & 7th, 2025

Cost: $235.00/person

Event: 2025 Adult (18+) Learn to Hunt Upland Birds Program

The 2025 Adult Learn to Hunt Upland Birds Program aims to help you develop all the skills necessary to hunt safely and independently. In addition to hands-on learning, participants will be provided with online content that can be completed at home to maximize the experience. This program intends to provide a safe, comfortable atmosphere where adults with no prior hunting experience can learn to hunt and develop an appreciation and understanding of the hunter's role in conservation and the importance of being a steward of the resource and habitat. The course will also create an excellent opportunity for participants to meet other adult-onset hunters and experienced hunters who can be a resource beyond the program.

The program is comprised of two weekends plus one Saturday morning. The first is an instructional weekend held September 6th & 7th at the MN Horse and Hunt Club in Prior Lake, MN. Here is just some of what you will learn and do this weekend:
-5 step shooting program review
-Loading and shooting different types of shotguns
-Learning instinctive shooting methods
-Shooting clay targets
-Clothing basics for upland hunting
-Cleaning birds
-Finding birds afield
-Intro to hunting behind both flushing and pointing dogs
-Going afield together and actually hunting birds.

On Saturday, September 20th, you will be invited to hunt planted birds at the Horse and Hunt Club in Prior Lake, Mn. from 9 am until 1 pm. Lunch will be included. We will supply three birds per student all at no additional cost.

The second weekend is a wild bird hunt guided by trained hunters from our chapter with dogs. The date will be announced at class, but it will be in October after the pheasant opener; you will learn in the field about habitat, cover types, game bird biology, and the do's and don'ts of public land hunting. This will be in pheasant country (outstate Minnesota); the exact location is TBD and will be determined closer to the event date. You are encouraged to get overnight accommodations and hunt again on Sunday if you'd like!
You will need to have completed the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources's (DNR) Firearm Safety program in order to participate. This class can be completed online on the MN DNR website.
