Vt. Fish & Wildlife to host women hunter day

 The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife is going to be hosting a free hunter education field day for women in Canaan.

The Sept. 27 event at Jackson's Lodge is part of the events offered at Vermont Outdoor Woman's annual fall Doe Camp. Women not attending the camp may also participate in the field day.

Participants must first pass the online firearms course or complete a workbook, which is available on the Vermont Fish & Wildlife website.

The field day will cover basic firearm handling and safety, proper shooting techniques, game tracking, ethical hunting practices, basic survival skills, and hunting regulations.

Women who pass the final written exam will receive a Hunters Education Firearm Safety Certification Card, valid in all U.S. States and Canadian provinces.
