In a continued effort to reduce firearm accidents, the State of California requires all first time resident hunters, regardless of age, to complete hunter education training or pass a comprehensive equivalency test before purchasing a hunting license. The California Department of Fish and Game conducts training throughout the state. Each year approximately 30,000 students complete the states ten-hour minimum hunter education course. Statistics show hunter education training is a success.

 

Students have a choice of attending a traditional Hunter Education course or an On-Line course where most of the study is completed on a computer but still requires a four hour classroom session. Both courses are taught by California State Certified instructors.

 

Topics covered include: Ethics & Hunter Responsibility, Wildlife Management, Firearms - Rifle, Pistols & Shotguns, Muzzleloading, Firearms Safety & Handling, Bowhunting, Hunting Regulations, Wildlife Identification, Survival & First Aid and Game Care

 

All of the information needed to pass the course will be provided during the class. Students are required to attend the entire course and pass a written examination to obtain a Hunter Education Completion Certificate.

 

Courses are currently being held four times a year(see schedule).  Preregistration is required as space is limited. Initial registration must be completed on line at the Dept of Fish and Wildlife website (see above).
