New Hampshire Hunter Education Traditional Course Information
You must be at least 12 years old on the last day of a course to register.
The Hunter Education Course is more than a "gun safety" class. The mandatory course consists of classroom instruction, field experiences and firing on a shooting range. Each course is taught by trained, certified volunteer instructors and the local conservation officer. The course covers the following topics: Firearms identification, safety and handling; Hunter ethics and responsibility; Outdoor safety and survival skills; Introduction to specialty hunting (archery, crossbow and muzzleloader); Wildlife identification and management; Game recovery and care; NH hunting laws. Students are provided with a course manual, wildlife ID guide, outdoor survival information and additional handouts. Courses involve lecture, demonstrations, small group activities, a live fire experience, written exam and practical field test. The average course length is 16 hours. Provisions will be made for people with reading difficulties or special needs, but each student must demonstrate they have acquired the fundamental knowledge and skills before they will be certified.
Dates: June 1st,9th & 10th
Registration for any class must be completed at least three (3) days prior to the class start date. No registrations will be taken after the three (3) day cut-off or if the class becomes full.
