2012 KY BEYOND BOW / LAKE CUMBERLAND 4-H LEADERSHIP CENTER, JABEZ, KY
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17 – SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2012
This Beyond BOW workshop is open to couples, singles and anyone 13 years or older (accompanied by
an adult) interested in learning the ins and outs of hunting and fishing in Kentucky
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
The intent of this workshop is to present from A to Z, as much as time allows, something about every
facet of the outdoor pursuits of hunting and fishing in Kentucky. Experienced hunters and anglers will
field any question you have, and get you on target to take up, or get more out of your interests, whether
in the woods, on the water, or both!
The HUNTING PORTION of this workshop is designed to provide a comprehensive and detailed
knowledge of nearly all hunting opportunities found in Kentucky. From squirrels, raccoons, rabbits,
dove, waterfowl, turkey, deer to elk, it will help you become “field-savvy”, and prepare you for what you
can expect to encounter regardless of which type of game you pursue. Game behavior and habitats will
be discussed. Where and how to set up and techniques to employ will be covered. Laws, equipment,
ethics, safety and tips for success and treatment of game for the table will all be incorporated.
If possible, simulated hunting opportunities may be offered. Time will be spent on the shotgun, rifle and
archery ranges.
The FISHING PORTION of this workshop is intended to familiarize you with as many different kinds of
angling, what’s available and in which waters, and some basic proven techniques for success. Various
types of equipment such as spinning and casting reels, rods and lures, will be displayed and how to use
them properly explained and demonstrated. How to equip a boat for safety and fishing use will be
presented. Preparing and cleaning fish will also be taught and information on creel limits and other
fishing regulations will be shared.
If possible, a simulated fishing opportunity may be offered. Time will be spent on the water if weather
permits.
