The Department of Fish and Game's (DFG) Advanced Hunter Education Program is hosting a waterfowl hunting clinic Oct. 3 in Riverside County.

Waterfowlers of all experience levels may attend, but DFG recommends that participants complete a Basic Hunter Education program prior to enrolling. Topics covered in this clinic include decoy placement, blind design, ballistics, calling, duck identification, K-9 considerations, gear and garb, game care and cleaning, cooking tips and safety precautions. Chuck Giordanengo, a veteran waterfowler and vice president of the Pacific Coast Hunter Education Association, is the instructor.

The clinic will be held at the San Jacinto Wildlife Area from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The cost is $40. Participants can register online at www.dfg.ca.gov/huntered/advanced or request a registration form by mail by calling (916) 358-4356. Once registered, participants will be provided with a workshop agenda, a map to the facility and a list of items to bring.
