Learn to Hunt - Workshops
Just as wildlife need a variety of plants for foraging, hunters need a variety of skills for hunting. An often-overlooked hunting skill is the ability to correctly identify common Illinois plant species and use this information in the hunt-planning process. With a basic understanding of plant identification and animal feeding behavior, hunters are better able to predict wildlife movements across the landscape. Join us in the 1st installment of a webinar series entitled: Plant Identification for Illinois Hunters (trees, shrubs, and other woody plants). This webinar will detail identification techniques, common species overview, game species use of the plant, and much more.
 
Advanced registration is REQUIRED. Applicants of all ages are encouraged to register. Approximately 1 hour before the start of the webinar, registrants will receive a link to join the webinar using the email address provided during registration. All registrants will be emailed a recording of the webinar upon completion, so if you cannot make it to the live recording, please register to view on-demand.
