Hunter Safety Field Day

This Field Day is the final step to completing your Hunter Safety education. Students will review core safety topics, participate in hands‑on firearm safety exercises, complete a live‑fire session, and finish with a multiple‑choice exam.

Students who successfully complete all requirements will receive a temporary orange hunter safety card from the instructor. This card must be carried while hunting until the permanent card arrives by mail. Please ensure a valid mailing address is entered in your account profile so the permanent card can be delivered without delay.
