AHEIA's "Learn to Hunt" Series
The Alberta Hunter Education Instructors’ Association is pleased to introduce a 16-class “Learn to Hunt” program for new and novice hunters. Held over 10 months, this program arms new and novice hunters with everything needed to be a confident, knowledgeable, and successful hunter. While making friendships with other first-time hunters, participants will experience a wide variety of classes both in class and in the field. As a culmination of the program, AHEIA will offer mentored hunting experiences for participants during the month of November. As mentored hunt spaces are limited, priority for the one-on-one mentored hunt with available instructors will be given to those who attend most classes. A $50 refundable deposit will reserve a seat for all 16 classes. Additional fees for range days or other specialized off-site instruction may be added. Classes start at 7:00 pm at our office located at Unit 88, 4003 – 98 Street, Edmonton, AB T6E 6M8. Spaces are limited so register early.
