Last updated on Saturday, August 3, 2013

(TERRE HAUTE) - Registration is open for a free DNR program in three cities that will teach participants how to hunt whitetail deer in Indiana.

Hunt, Fish, Eat starts Aug. 8 in Terre Haute, Aug. 20 in Indianapolis and Sept. 5 in Fort Wayne. The program is a four-session series, with an optional fifth session. Sessions are once a week and offer hands-on learning in a safe environment.

Hunt, Fish, Eat is an opportunity for new hunters ages 18 and older to improve their self-reliance skills and to learn to harvest a delicious source of fresh, local meat.

Curriculum will focus on laws and regulations, firearms and safety, locating a hunting spot, tracking and field dressing your harvest, and handling and preparing your venison for the table.

Each session will include an opportunity to sample venison recipes from instructors, as well as examine a variety of hunting gear and resources.

Participants should attend all sessions. All equipment will be provided.
