YOU MUST ATTEND ALL CLASSES AND THE FIELD DAY and be on time to be certified.
All hunter education classes are free of charge and open to hunters and non-hunters alike. Some students take the courses for the firearm safety and outdoor survival information, even if they don’t plan to hunt.
ADULTS: Please feel free to attend as many classes as you can with the children. I encourage you to take the test and take part in the Field Day with your student. If needed, you can become certified as well.
We provide all the firearms and ammunition, you are not allowed to bring either to the classes or the Field Day.
