 State
Hunter Education Links
State fish and game agencies began
offering hunter safety programs in 1949. Since then, more than 35
million people have been certified. The hunter safety program has
grown, and it is now known as the Hunter Education Program. While
hunter safety is a primary concern, hunter ethics, wildlife
management, survival, and other topics are important parts of the
course as well.
It is strongly recommended that anyone who
plans on hunting or shooting completes a hunter education class. The
hunter education course covers topics such as firearms, ammunition,
gun handling, archery, hunter responsibilities, outdoor safety,
wildlife management and conservation, and other related information.
This course is beneficial for everyone, even if hunting is not your
goal. Forty-nine states and all of the Canadian Provinces require
hunter education.
