Women's Goose Hunting Clinic Coming to Henderson, MD

Caroline County, MD - Women who want to try goose hunting, or who've only gone a few times, will get a chance to learn the sport from the ground up this winter. The clinic will take place in Henderson, Maryland.

Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) is holding its Eastern Shore Goose Hunting Clinic on Sunday, January 24, 2027, and Monday, January 25, 2027. The two-day workshop is set up for women who are new to goose hunting or have very little experience with it.

The first day starts in the classroom. Instructors will walk participants through the how's and why's of waterfowl hunting.

Safety is a big part of that lesson. The class also goes over the state and federal laws and regulations hunters have to follow, along with hunting skills and techniques.

Sunday isn't all classroom time, though. Participants will also get to shoot trap and take a tour of the Bridgetown Manor.

Monday is hunt day. Participants will head out on a guided goose hunt and put what they learned the day before to use.

The workshop fee covers a lot. It includes the classroom instruction, meals, lodging, trap shooting and ammo.

Priority will go to new participants. If you've never taken part before, you'll be moved toward the front of the line.

There are a few things you'll need before you sign up. Every participant must have a valid Maryland Regular Full Season Hunting License or Apprentice License. You'll also need a valid Maryland Migratory Bird Stamp and a valid Federal Migratory Bird Stamp.

Participants are expected to bring their own firearm. If that's a problem or a concern for you, BOW asks that you reach out to them.

Registration applications open on November 25, 2026. The deadline to register is December 4, 2026, which leaves a nine-day window to apply.
