Autumn Deer Hunting Classes Scheduled

For several years now I've been known for offering classes to beginners on how to hunt deer for food. Unfortunately, it is looking like this will have to be the last season of classes for people coming in from out of the area.

A critical component of the classes that I teach is the opportunity for students to work on a freshly killed deer to learn how to gut, skin, quarter, butcher and cook their own food. In order to offer this experience at a specified time I have to get the deer from the only remaining deer farm in Virginia.

I recently found out that the only deer farm in Virginia will be shutting down soon. The owner will have to sell off the rest of the herd and that will be that. However, she has offered to save a few deer for me to use for classes this fall and perhaps the winter.

So this is it. I am scheduling the last few deer classes now and I doubt that it will be possible for me to teach any more of these. If you ever wanted to take one of these classes then this probably is your last chance. As covered by the New York Times, reviewed by We Love DC, and many, many other newspapers, magazines and blogs.

The first two-day class will be offered for the weekend of October 29th-30th. Yes, its short notice but I'm trying to get in as many as I can before the farm is closed and the deer are gone. The second class will be the weekend of November 26th-27th. I might be adding one more in December but that is still up in the air.

The cost per person for each of these classes is $380. This price includes all ammunition, use of rifles, a few meals, and other class materials. For a full description of what the class involves, I suggest reading the review on We Love DC.

A 25% deposit is required to reserve a spot in the class. The balance is due by the start of the class. We reserve the right to cancel the class with a full refund provided if low enrollment or cancellations put us in that position (this has only ever happened once in the last 3 years). Deposits are non-refundable if the student cancels seven days or less from the start of the class.
