Hunter Education Classes - Avoid the Rush

For those who need to take it, now is the time to start looking for a Hunter Education class to avoid the last minute rush. Besides, who wants to be sitting in classroom when it's time to be out getting ready for the upcoming season. And that goes for instructors as well. Once September arrives, fewer instructors are willing to sacrifice a weekend by being in a classroom.

Dan,
I sent you a PM about what is a good age for a kid to attend. My son just turned 10, and I was wondering if you thought I should wait a few more years, or if now is okay? He does not hunt by himself, he is always physically with me. I don't plan on letting him carry a gun without supervision for many more years, but I do believe that you can never start too soon with safety. I have been drilling him on safety every time we go out. He already has his hunting license, but I know that he has to attend Hunters Ed at some point.

Shoot me an e-mail when you can.
