This workshop will introduce participants to one of New Hampshire’s finest small-game hunting experiences—hare hunting with beagles. Presenters include Edward Vien, John Fletcher, and Larry Williams, all active members of the NH Beagle Club.
Topics covered will include snowshoe hares and where to find them, equipment needed, dog care and training, safety considerations, resources about hare and rabbit hunting, and clubs in New Hampshire that focus on dogs and hare hunting. The instructors have many years of experience, a true passion for their sport, and are happy to answer participant questions.
Attendees should bring warm outdoor clothing and be prepared for some outdoor class time. The first portion of the workshop takes place inside the classroom, and then students will move outside where the dogs will show their stuff!
Please note that this workshop does not include lunch.
