How to Process Your Deer – Montan FWP to Offer October Workshop

I don't remember the first time I was shown how to properly field dress a deer.  I do know it was my father that taught me how at a young age, probably just like your father did with you.  And you probably will pass that knowledge down when it comes time for your son or daughter to take to the field hunting.

But what if there wasn't that person in your early life that knew exactly how to hold a leg, cut or skin here and getting that animal all the way from the field to the freezer?  Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks (MFWP) realize there are folks that need that knowledge, so what better way to learn than a hands-on class designed for women coming in October.
