A $50 registration fee for each workshop includes lunch and class materials. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. The programs will begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 4 p.m.
Speakers will cover several issues related to deer management: buck harvest strategies; understanding deer nutrition needs; habitat and food plot management; using technology to manage deer populations; and effects of environment and genetics on body and antler size.
Five hours of Continuing Forestry Education and Mississippi Professional Logger Training Program credit are offered to participants.
MSU Extension Service, the MSU Forest and Wildlife Research Center and the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks will sponsor the workshops.
