Sponsored by the Minnsota Deer Hunters Association, this camp provides participants with basic knowledge necessary to become an ethical, responsible, and successful deer hunter. To understand our prey, we study white-tailed deer biology, habits, habitat needs. Campers then learn hunting skills including marksmanship and field to feast game care and preparation. Students that do not yet have their MN DNR Firearms Safety Certificate (required to hunt in MN) will be trained by DNR Firearms Safety instructors and can test to receive their certificate as part of the camp experience.
