Why Should I Attend?
I long to embrace the traditional tweed and side-by-side shotguning of my forebears. I really want to learn to smoke a pipe. I love the short grass prairie ecosystem and want to spend more time in it. I love hunting with dogs and want to get one of my own. The elegance of upland hunting looks like a lot of fun. Waking up at 8:00 a.m. and having a quiet breakfast with my dog before a walk on the prairie sounds like my kind of hunting. If any of these statements describe you then YOU SHOULD ATTEND THIS EVENT!
