Hunter Education Junior Instructor Registration

Hunter Education instructors serve a vital role, especially among youth (aged 14-17), as they are equipped with essential knowledge, skills, and ethics to promote safe and responsible hunting. As a Hunter Education Junior Instructor, your responsibilities will include conducting engaging classes, providing hands-on demonstrations, and completing practical exercises to reinforce learning. You will also help grade student exams to ensure they meet safety standards.

Your dedication to teaching Hunter Education contributes significantly to fostering a culture of safety, ethics, and stewardship among young hunters. This not only preserves Oregon's natural heritage, but also promotes sustainable hunting traditions for future generations.
