According to law, hunters born
on or before September 2, 1971
and over age 12 must complete
the hunter education course.
The course costs $5 per person
and is used to pay for course
materials.
Seymore said the course will
fulfill the hunter education re-
quirements of all states in the US
and Canada.
Training includes hunter
responsibility, ethics, safety, sur-
vival, and conservation.
“We bring in rifles and the
hunters get hands-on training,”
he said.
In addition to receiving the
hunter education certificate, par-
ticipant’s names will be placed
into a lottery for an all-expenses
paid quail hunt in Oklahoma.
Seymore said the trip is an an-
nual event filmed for broadcast
by the Public Broadcasting
Stations.
