Once the course material is completed a test is administered to the participants. If the participants score well enough on the exam they are issued a hunters safety card. In general states allow hunters with a disability to hunt independently in locations designated for hunting. In some cases, areas that provide good accessibility but are not normally designated for hunting, are opened to be used by hunters with disabilities. In most cases the state agency will designate a time and location for a special hunt.
Hunters then apply for the opportunity to participate in the hunt.
In general the number of hunters with disabilities selected to participate is limited by the managing agency to ensure their ability to assist the hunters with disabilities. At these hunts volunteers are generally available to assist with finding and procuring game animals. However, hunters with disabilities are not limited to only these types of hunts. Companions In general each state has regulations that allow a person with a disability who is hunting independent of a designated program to hunt with a companion. However, due to variance in regulations from state to state it is important that the hunter gather information on regulations regarding companions from the department of natural resources, department of fish and wildlife or other licensing agency in the state they desire to hunt.
