Area conservation groups and retailers are hosting a casual, family friendly event for former hunters and people with an interest in hunting, but never hunted, on March 13 at the Iowa City Fin & Feature store. The event begins at 5 p.m.
Hunt Iowa Social will showcase opportunities in outdoor recreational pursuits, like shooting sports and fishing, help increase hunting knowledge or skills, and other ways to get involved. Booths will be set up with information on hunting and outdoor recreation and a variety of spring turkey hunting gear will be on display.
Attendees will receive a coupon for a free sandwich and drink during the event. Preregistration is encouraged and those who do will be entered into a drawing for prizes. Register online at http://soo.gd/IWFHuntIowa. Hunting licenses will be on sale and anyone who purchases a license at this event will receive an Iowa Wildlife Federation belt buckle, valued at $25.
The event is made possible by the Iowa Wildlife Federation, Fin & Feather, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and Pheasants Forever. Fin & Feather is located at 125 Hwy. 1 West, in Iowa City.
