Participants will have the opportunity to learn and practice the necessary field skills to have the knowledge and confidence to become successful hunters. Arosa Ranch offers an amazing place to experience and learn about wildlife and their habitat. This event is catered by Gourmet Wild Chef Jody Peck who will create wild harvest inspired feasts throughout the workshop.

PROGRAM

When you arrive

You must arrive the evening before Day 1 of the workshop. You are welcome to arrive any time during the afternoon. Feel free to arrive early and get to know the ranch and lend a hand as we prepare for the workshop. There will be a pot of stew on the fire, so you can count on being fed whenever you pull in.
