In an effort to offer students a more "hands-on" approach to hunter education, the Hunter Development Program will offer Hunter Education Field Days as a way for students to supplement their knowledge.
Field days include a live fire and field exercise component and are designed for students who have completed and passed the hunter education program and test.
A list of dates and location for upcoming Hunter Education Field Days is below:
