Hunter Safety Education Field Day Registration

Join us for a practical evaluation required for youth following the completion of the online course. The field day includes a review of course topics, Oregon hunting regulations, ethics, conservation, firearm safety field exercises, a live-fire exercise and a multiple-choice written exam. To earn certification, students must demonstrate proficiency in skill, attitude, and knowledge across all components. Upon completion, a temporary orange hunter safety card will be issued to use in the field while hunting and hard card certifications will be mailed within 60 days. 

This course will provide hands-on experience and reinforcement of key concepts, including: 

  • Understanding the 5 different firearm actions
  • Proper loading and unloading techniques, including ammunition selection
  • Practicing safe muzzle control and keeping fingers off the trigger
  • Managing the safety mechanism on firearms throughout the session
  • Adhering to the 4 main safety rules: MTAT (Muzzle Control, Trigger, Action, Target)
  • Trail walk identifying multiple species with ethical scenarios and safe practices
