FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (April 30, 2021) – The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission’s Pechmann Fishing Education Center in Fayetteville has released its May class schedule, including two workshops dedicated to learning to cook game and fish harvested while recreating outdoors.

“An integral part of hunting and fishing is the consumption of the harvest. Game is free range and naturally lean, it often requires different cooking methods. Our cooking workshops instruct participants in techniques to preserve the harvest for the best flavor and usage,” stated Tom Carpenter, the Pechmann Center director.

All courses will be led by trained volunteers and Wildlife Commission staff.  A North Carolina fishing license is not required to take any of the classes. Pre-registration is required. The Center’s COVID-19 policies are stated on their website and must be followed during visits.
