The Ontario Federation of
Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) will
hold a wild turkey hunting seminar
for Wingham, Clinton, Goderich
and Listowel-area hunters on
Sunday, March 17 at the Blyth
Public School in Blyth.
Attendance at an OFAH seminar
is mandatofy for anyone wishing to
hunt wild turkeys in Ontario for the
first time. It is also open to non-
hunters and family members of
hunters.
The day-long seminar will
feature wild turkey biology, calling
and hunting techniques, hunting
ethics and safety procedures.
The seminar is followed by a
Ministry of Natural Resources
(MNR) examination to certify the
hunters.
Instructors for the program are
experienced Canadian and
American wild turkey hunters Chris
Poff of Port Rowan and Dave Reid
of Simcoe. The seminar is
sponsored by Quaker Boy World

wild turkey population has grown
to almost 14,000 birds. Wildlife
management units with an open
