One option is the conventional class, which is a minimum of 12 hours over a number of days or evenings, which includes a live fire and field exercise. This is the best way for youth to learn. There will be a self-study course this summer, as well. This works better for the older students who have a lot of other commitments. A Hunter Education certificate must be in the possession of anyone aged 17 or under when hunting on lands other than their own.
Some states require adults, regardless of age, to have a certificate when hunting.
A Hunter Education card is not required to purchase a hunting license or big game tags or applications. If you have a youth who needs a hunter education class to hunt this fall, don't wait until the last minute. A Bowhunter Education class will be held at the end of June at the Klamath Bowhunters Clubhouse on Cross Road. Bowhunter Education is mandatory for many hunters hunting in other states. A Master Hunter evaluation class will be held on June 25.
