Hunters Education

We are having a Hunters Education Class. The class will be on Nov. 15th at the Miami Community Center. Class will be from 1:00 pm until 6:00 pm. You will need to take and print out the quizzes that are located at the link below. You will need to bring them completed to class with you. You will need a pen, pencil, hearing and eye protection. This class will be for anyone that is interested in taking it. If you have taken the class but you never received your green student card showing completion, then you may need to retake the class. If you are hunting and don't have either your HE# on your license or your green card, then it is a ticket. The average court cost of the ticket is around $250. The cost of the class will be $15 a person. This will need to be in the form of a money order or cash. We will provide the firearms and ammo for shooting. You will need to register ahead of time for the class so that we know how many people to expect and so that we have enough supplies for everyone. If you have any questions about the class, please feel free to contact me using the information below.
