Hunting is hard, and we want to help. To succeed, you need mentorship to learn the skills, find a community to support your learning journey, and build knowledge on how to hunt. Join us for a three-day field skills development workshop at Fossen's Guest Lodge in the heart of BC’s best deer and elk habitat.

Participants will learn from experienced mentors and practice the essential field skills to build the knowledge and confidence to become successful hunters. With a small group size ideal for learning, you can connect with other learners and develop your hunting community.

We aim to ensure that Hunter Field Skills Workshop graduates have a systematic approach to finding game, the basic skills to harvest an animal confidently and the knowledge to take care of their harvest. This is a comprehensive field skills course. Participants will have the opportunity to build skills in orienteering, finding game, habitat identification, stalking game, basic hunting methods, field butchering, hunting camp setup, and much much more.
