The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and the North Carolina Wildlife Federation will offer two free online hunting-related webinars in August.
Introduction to Deer Hunting will be held on August 9, and Practical Deer Processing: From Field to Freezer will be held on August 11.
Both classes will run from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. and are open to anyone interested, especially individuals who have never hunted, or are new to hunting or lack social support for hunting.
“Both webinars are intended to assist novice hunters for the upcoming white-tailed deer season, which opens September 10,” said Walter “Deet” James, the hunter engagement coordinator at the Wildlife Commission. “It’s a fantastic opportunity for people who may not have access to an existing hunting community of family members and friends. Each session will be followed by a question and answer session led by agency staff and volunteers.”
The Introduction to Deer Hunting webinar will cover whitetail habits and habitats, scouting techniques, essential equipment, tree stand safety, effective shot placement, tracking techniques and field dressing.

The Practical Deer Processing: From Field to Freezer webinar will focus on field dressing, skinning, safe meat handling and basic home processing.
Chronic Wasting Disease, which was detected for the first time in North Carolina in a deer harvested in Yadkinville last season, will also be discussed as it relates to new regulations in Yadkin County and surrounding areas.
