The Upland Bird Hunt Chapter is taking its popular Future Hunters and Handlers Day on the road, partnering with the Greater Pittsburgh Area Chapter to offer an introduction to ruffed grouse and American woodcock hunting, as well as upland bird dog training.

WE HAVE A GREAT DAY PLANNED:
• Grouse and American woodcock habitat identification.
• Bird dog basics – gear, breeds, what to expect, training concepts.
• Vet expert – Dr. Michael Doornink, veterinary surgeon at Pittsburgh ER.
• Grouse gear – what you need.
• Intro to GPS – where am I, and how do I get where I’m going?
• Advanced – questions and answers for experienced dog handlers, plus demonstrations.

If you’re a first-generation hunter or a new bird dog owner looking to spend quality time in the field but feel daunted by getting started, join us on April 26! Our goal is to create a network of hunters willing to share quality knowledge with anyone looking to begin their bird dog and upland hunting adventure.
