Join Backcountry Hunters & Anglers and Sitka Gear, along with our partners from Minority Outdoor Alliance as we set up camp in Chicago as part of our Backcountry In Your Backyard Program. We’re hosting a FREE, all-inclusive, entry-level workshop designed to introduce you to the exciting world of turkey hunting, and there is a spot open just for you!

This is your invitation to join us Saturday, March 29th at the new Sitka Gear Store in Vernon Hills, IL. We will be taking over the store from 12-4PM with presentations hardcore turkey hunters, BHA staff, Chapter Leaders and representatives from MOA. We will cover everything from biology and conservation to scouting and access to gear and wild game. Learn the basics that will get you excited and help you feel safe and confident as you head into the woods.
