Join us at Lexington Wildlife Management Area (WMA) on Saturday, Feb. 17 from 9 a.m. to noon for this family-friendly hands-on learning event.
Participants will learn wing-shooting techniques at the WMA’s newly built shooting range, learn about squirrel hunting and how to hunt Oklahoma's public land, and also learn about Lexington WMA.
Registration for the event is limited to 50 people. Lunch will be provided by the nonprofit group, Oklahoma Hunters & Anglers (OHA). The OHA’s mission is to serve Oklahoma’s sportsmen and women by enhancing Oklahoma’s wildlife and fishery resources, our hunting and fishing heritage, and the conservation efforts of those who value our state's fish and wildlife resources.
