Are you an adult hunter with limited experience or success? The new “Safe Harvest and Responsible Practices” (S.H.A.R.P.) program at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center provides new hunters with the basic knowledge and skills required to confidently pursue Georgia’s wild game on their own. Currently open to adults only, the program hopes to expand in the future to include family events for children 8 and up.
Each 1-day SHARP event will include an introduction and overview of a featured game animal along with approximately 5 hunting skills specific to that game. The day’s instruction will focus on skills other than shooting. Range time will not be included in these events. Each event will include:
- Safety
- Hunting regulations and rules
- Game identification
- Hunting techniques and tactics
- Scouting
- Hunting gear
- Care and handling of harvested game
The cost of each course is $20 and includes lunch for participants.
