Learn how to reach your bag limit during this fall’s pheasant season at a free seminar with Wes Reed and Scott Rouleau on Thursday, September 27, at the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, 11 Hazen Drive, Concord, NH. The talk begins at 7 p.m. No pre-registration is required.

Wes Reed will discuss the value of a retriever for recovering downed game, and the training process required to prepare a dog for the field and a driven pheasant hunt. Scott Rouleau will talk about hunting tactics that incorporate a dog as well as strategies for hunting without canine support, the nature of the bird, essential gear, and where to successfully hunt pheasant in New Hampshire.
