Outdoor Woman Weekend Set For June 3rd and 4th

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency will host a Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) Weekend June 3-4 at Buffalo Ridge Refugee in Humphreys County. BOW is designed for women who are interested in learning more outdoor skills or are new to outdoor recreation.

This year, TWRA has doubled the number of available classes and expanded the program to give attendees an opportunity to take three classes instead of two. Attendees can choose from all-terrain vehicle (ATV) operation, introduction to paddlesports, wild edibles, basic archery, introduction to long distance shooting, and introduction to sporting clays. New classes available this year include beginning fly fishing, introduction to firearms, introduction to muzzleloaders, map & compass, successful fishing skills, and trapping.

Two classes will be taught in morning and afternoon sessions on Saturday and the event will conclude with a Sunday morning session. The workshop fee is $100 and includes all Saturday meals and a Sunday breakfast. Space for the event is limited. Registrations may be made here.

Lodging is not included but camping on site is permitted. Campers must provide their equipment or attendees may book their own lodging at nearby hotels.
