Are you interested in shooting a bow but just don’t know where to start? Have you started shooting and you want to learn more? Perhaps you want to increase your skills to apply for an archery hunt this year? If you answered YES to any of these or you just want to improve your archery or bowhunting skills come join us for our March social hour sessions.

For March, we are offering a two-part session. Come join us virtually on Tuesday, March 14 at 5:30 p.m., and learn about archery and bowhunting. There will be information provided during the entire session that will be beneficial to individuals of all skill levels.

While this event is focused on ladies, we welcome everyone to join us.

You’re invited to join us virtually on Tuesday, April 11 at 5:30 p.m. to talk turkey with Storm Usrey, the department’s conservation education program manager.

Storm has been employed with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish for over 17 years and has worked as a conservation officer, resident game bird biologist and corporal. He is currently serving as the conservation education manager.

He is a lifelong resident of New Mexico and enjoys the diversity of culture, history, food and wildlife. His passion for hunting wild turkeys has led him to Florida, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona to pursue this sizable gallinaceous bird. Time spent in the woods with families in these states has been the real prize to him in his hunting adventures. Storm constantly tries to educate himself on wild turkeys and the tactics used for hunting them. He has harvested Merriam’s, Rio Grande and Osceola subspecies in his pursuits around the United States.

While this event is focused on ladies, we welcome everyone to join us.
