Join us for a hands-on outdoor experience at Big Rock Creek in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin to spark your curiosity and build your confidence foraging for wild foods! This beginner-friendly class is perfect for those new to foraging or anyone looking to hang out with like-minded individuals that love and appreciate nature. Together, we’ll learn all about foraging safely for common, edible mushrooms. What to Expect Interactive Education: Start with an engaging presentation discussing everything you need to know to get started foraging. We’ll discuss foraging basics, identification tips, cooking & preservation techniques, safety, technology, and more. Get hands-on with fresh examples (if available) to practice identifying key features before we head out to the forest. Forest Exploration: Wander through the 1000 acres of woods at Big Rock Creek as we search for and harvest edible wild mushrooms. While mushroom growth varies with the environment, we can never guarantee what or how much variety will be found – although we will be hunting in an area that has been known to produce mushrooms. The real reward is the knowledge you’ll gain to forage confidently on your own. We will also be identifying important trees along the way. Potential Finds: Summer mushrooms like chanterelles, boletes, chicken of the woods, and more! While we will focus our hunt on mushrooms, we will also be able to harvest edible plants or berries since we are on private property! Most public land does not allow harvesting of plants. Taste What We Find: A brief cooking demo and light tasting will be prepared with the mushrooms we find. Please reach out if you have dietary restrictions to see if we can accommodate. Community and Sharing: Bring home any mushrooms that we don’t cook or plants we find! If we find enough, we’ll divide them evenly to ensure everyone leaves with a treat. Gear Up: Browse foraging essentials like mushroom knives, books, and other tools available for purchase. More info and tickets at www.chickofthewoods.com/events .

In July there is one position available on course commencing Friday 4th July and Two positions available on course commencing Friday 18th July. Go to www.sambardeer.com for full details of our course including more than 75 Success Stories sent to us by past participants and full details of our Secrets of the Sambar trilogy and The Hunt Smart System book which is our 3 day course brought to life in a 464 page, A4 format, hard cover full colour book. This book – which is fully indexed for easy reference - has been painstakingly designed for tradies who learn by "seeing and doing". This book is so easy to follow that many hunters become instantly successful after studying it. Videos of my Training Course plus my Sambar Guiding Success Stories and other videos can be viewed on our Secrets of the Sambar YouTube channel. Participants of every course watch unalarmed Sambar on Saturday and Sunday mornings and this course was no exception. The photos and videos below show a typical Hunt Smart Training Course during which participants observed an unalarmed Sambar Stag and three hinds with calves. Please note that I do not use thermals, nor are they allowed on my training course. As the 75 Success Stories on my website demonstrate, once you have learnt my Hunt Smart system you do not need a thermal to find unalarmed sambar. At 1pm Friday I began by showing participants the features which make an area a Top Area to hunt as explained in The Hunt Smart System book. Then, using the 4 hooves of several stags, I show them how to identify mature stags tracks from a spiker’s, from a 2.5 year old’s and from a hinds. Then using a large gully as a template, I overlaid every “overlay” in my toolbox over this gully whilst explaining how they enable a hunter to narrow down where the deer are going to be to just 10 per cent of the total forest. Before first light on the Saturday morning, after applying the relevant overlays - as explained the previous afternoon and explained in detail in The Hunt Smart System book - I narrowed down where the deer were likely to be to just 10 per cent of the total forest. I then led participants to a vantage point from where it was highly likely that we would be able to observe Sambar that didn’t have a clue we were present. Shortly after arriving at the vantage point participants spotted an unalarmed deer. Over the space of 15 minutes slowly but surely one became seven. They comprised a rising mature stag standing in cover, whilst three hinds and their calves fed nearby as shown in the following photos and videos. We watched them for about an hour - noting everything they did – before they ascended slowly towards their daytime retreat and eventually faded from sight. I then explained that Sambar do the same thing every day. What changes every day isn’t what they do but where they do it, and where they do it depends mostly on the weather that morning and hunting pressure in that area and location of the best food. Yet again I explained all the overlays which a hunter must apply to narrow down where the deer are going to be to just 10 per cent of the total forest. After explaining the behaviour observed we moved to several other scenarios including a mini-hub as explained in the chapter “Mini-Hubs – Sambar Central” in The Hunt Smart System book. At 1pm we drove to a location 30km away where I teach “how to hunt the thick.” From 2000 to 2005 I successfully guided Sambar hunters in this area. (See YouTube for SOTS Guiding Success Stories and Secrets of the Sambar Volumes 1, 2 and 3.) In this high rainfall area the forest is so dense it’s impossible to see out one side of a face, let alone into the other, so during the first two years I guided there I developed specialised tactics which resulted in many trophy stags plus numerous hinds being harvested. After teaching numerous “how to hunt the thick” tactics we returned to camp and spent the evening around a warm campfire. On the Sunday morning before first light I again applied the relevant overlays - as explained in The Hunt Smart System book – to narrow down where the deer were likely to be to just 10 per cent of the total forest. Then I led participants to a different vantage point from where the overlays told me it was highly likely we would see Sambar, and bingo there they were. First one and then several were spotted. As we observed deer, I coached participants as to how to set up for a shot and whilst they took a simulated shot at an unalarmed Sambar. After the last deer disappeared from sight I explained everything we had seen. I explained how the deer could be harvested with one well aimed shot from where we were - or even better - how a hunter could easily get much closer and shoot from just 50 metres. As on the Saturday morning I then taught numerous other tactics including where to set up treestands and ground hides. Many of Sambar’s preferred plants were identified throughout the course. After arriving back at camp at 11am participants examined the skeleton of a fully mature stag whilst I pointed to the best three aiming points. Participants who have never hunted Sambar previously – many of whom are from interstate - harvest an unalarmed Sambar within 2 or 3 days of attending our course or on their first hunt after the course.
