A number of Hunter Education classes are held each year.  These classes are usually taught in the fall by State Certified Instructors, most which are being Master Instructors.  The State provides all of the teaching materials.  While we do demonstrate the safe handling of firearms, there will not be any live ammunition or loaded firearms in the building during any of the classes.  Please do not bring any firearms or ammunition to the class.  The last night of each class consists of a 100-question test, of which the students must obtain at least 80 % to pass.  Upon successful completion of the test, the student will receive a Hunter Safety Education card.  This card is proof the individual has successfully completed the course and is eligible to purchase a hunting license.

All of the classes are free to the public.  Refreshments are available for a modest fee. (Note:  While there is no minimum age for the course, students in the 8-10 year old age group may have trouble passing the final exam, a 100 question test, as 80% of the questions must be answered correctly to pass.)

•     April 6th, 8th, 13th, and 15th from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM  Must attend all four (4) sessions to complete the course.

o Register for classes call 1-800-wildlife (945-3543).

Three types of classes are provided; general, home study, and adult certification:

• The first type of class is a general class which takes 12 hours. The students must attend all of the sessions. The sessions are usually taught on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 P.M. to 9 P.M. for 2 consecutive weeks (3 hours per night for 4 nights).
   

• The second type of class is a home study class.  To start the process, students calls 1-800-Wildlife to get the packet.  Students read the book and answer all the questions questions in the book. When the student has completed the questions, call the wildlife number again to register for a class.  This class takes 5 hours and is usually completed in one session. The student must have answered all the questions in the book. The instructor verifies student book completion.  Incomplete books are thrown away and the student begins the process again. Instructors are very diligent when training, striving to make it a worthwhile experience for everyone. We do not take short cuts and expect the same thoroughness from our students.
   

• The third type of class is for adults who need Hunter Safety certification in order to get an Ohio or out of state Hunting License. The information can be obtained from one of our instructors.
