The 2018 Beyond Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) Muzzleloader Workshop will be sponsored by TWRA Nov. 9-11 in Humphreys County. Female hunters 18 and older will have the opportunity to learn about hunting deer during the weekend.
The workshop will be held at Buffalo Ridge Refuge, which incorporates a variety of wildlife management practices and totals more than 2,000 acres of prime deer habitat. Along with the hunts, a variety of topics including deer biology, deer management, and hunting ethics will be covered.
Registration for the workshop is on a first-come, first-serve basis. However, two weeks priority will be given to first-time participants. The cost of the workshop is $225, which includes meals and camping. If participants wish to camp, they must provide their own gear. A list of local hotels will be included with the registration packet.
Workshop participants are required to have the appropriate licenses. Participants born on or after Jan. 1, 1969, must have successfully completed the required hunter education course. Participants will draw from a number of predetermined sites that will have tree stands.
