A waterfowl hunting workshop for novice hunters will be offered by the Indiana DNR Aug. 10.

The workshop, which focuses on Canada goose hunting, will be held at the Kankakee Fish & Wildlife Area in North Judson, from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Some information on ducks will be provided, but the focus will be goose hunting.

Presentation topics will include waterfowl hunting regulations, goose and duck identification, equipment and techniques. There also will be a show-and-tell segment.

Waterfowl hunting equipment, including blinds, waders, clothing, decoys and gadgets will be displayed and discussed. DNR Law Enforcement and Fish & Wildlife personnel will be available to answer questions. Lunch will be provided.

All ages are welcome. Advance registration is required. Parents who already hunt waterfowl are welcome to bring children, but the material is tailored for beginners. Experienced waterfowl hunters are unlikely to learn much.

Each workshop will occur at least partially outdoors and take place rain or shine. Participants should consider bringing a lawn chair and a jacket or raincoat.
