Have you wanted to hunt your own thanksgiving turkey, but unsure how to go about it?  The Iowa DNR is offering a program to teach skills needed to hunt, field dress and cook wild turkey to adults who have little to no wild turkey hunting experience. The two-part workshop, scheduled from 6-to 9 p.m. on March 9 and 16, at Olofson Shooting Range, near Polk City, features instructors providing hands-on learning to build basic knowledge and skills of turkey hunting. The course is designed for participants 16 years of age and older. Participants will learn about turkey hunting equipment, where to hunt, safe shooting practices, how to field dress and prepare and cook wild turkeys.  The cost is $25 per person, and space is limited.  To register or for more information you can head to gooutdoorsiowa.com.
