Hunter field dressing, meat handling and conservation practices offered through UNR Extension
Hunters wanting a crash course on how to safely handle game after its been caught can attend a number of workshops this summer offered through the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension and the University of Nevada, Reno College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources.
In a collaboration with the Nevada Department of Wildlife, the workshops aim to provide a hands-on experience for Nevada hunters on field dressing techniques, safe handling and transportation of meat, and conservation.
This class will be offered in Reno, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on July 31, Aug. 21 and Aug. 28.
The first part of the course will be classroom discussions led by Nevada Department of Wildlife staff, and the second portion of the course will be hands-on experience at the Wolf Pack Meats facility. Participants will be provided with sheep or goat carcasses to break down and prepare for dressing.
Cost for the workshop is $110 and includes all materials and lunch. All sessions will be held at 8311 Cleanwater Way and will be limited to 15 participants.
