Traditional Hunter Education Class Outline

The class spread out over four evenings and is at least 16 hours long.

Classroom instruction includes firearm safety, wilderness safety, basic first aid, animal identification and other out of doors skills and gun safety issues. Students are required to complete and pass all parts of the class.

There is live firing of firearms: centerfire, rimfire and muzzleloader. The instructors will provide the firearms and the ammunition. Students should bring ear protection and eye protection. Students are graded on safety, not how accurately they shoot.

An outdoor field course is also part of the class. This simulated hunt includes real firearms, cars, roads, 3-D targets, streams, other people, fences and gates. Students are graded on how safely, ethically and legally they handle each of the situations that they encounter. Instructors will provide all needed supplies for field course. Students can bring their own blaze orange vest or jacket to wear during field course.

In addition, a 75 question written test must be taken and passed to successfully complete the hunter education class. A certificate that allows the bearer to purchase a hunting license will be mailed within 15 days to students that pass the class.
