FWC Offers Free Duck Hunting Workshop in Lake Mary

Waterfowl hunting may be one of Florida's best kept secrets. Wetlands cover vast expanses of the state, and much of this habitat is open and available to the public for duck hunting. With more than 20 species of migratory ducks that winter here and a hunter success rate that is nearly double the national average, Florida is simply a great place to hunt ducks.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), along with Delta Waterfowl, wants to help open up the world of duck hunting, to newcomers to the state or anyone else interested in the sport, by holding a free waterfowl hunting workshop on Saturday, November 15, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. in Lake Mary.

The popular workshop will cover all the basics and more: hunting ethics, waterfowl identification, rules and regulations, places to hunt, decoys and patterns, shotguns and ammunition, boats and motors, clothing and camouflage.

Instructors for the workshop are FWC waterfowl biologist Jamie Feddersen and Delta Waterfowl - Central Florida Chapter President Matt Goldschmidt.

"We're really excited about doing this workshop," Feddersen said. "It's a great opportunity for beginning duck hunters to learn from folks who have a bit more experience."

The workshop will be at Gander Mountain, 3750 Flagg Lane, Lake Mary.

For more information, call Feddersen at 321-726-2862 or Goldschmidt at 407-468-0773.
