WGF: Get hunter Safety Education sooner rather than later

January 11, 2022

Hunter Safety Education classes are taught by volunteers. These instructors work to provide as many courses as they can throughout the year but with limited time, it’s a good idea to get in while you can. 

According to the Game and Fish, the basic purpose of hunter education is to reduce hunting incidents by teaching and promoting safe, legal, ethical and responsible hunting practices. Topics taught in every Wyoming hunter education class include:

Hunter Responsibility and Ethics

Wildlife Conservation and Management

Firearms and Firearm Safety 

Game and Fish Statutes and Regulations

Game Care and Wildlife Identification

Outdoor Safety

While appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse program, Wyoming Game and Fish Public Information Specialist Christina Schmidt recommended checking the department’s website to schedule and register for an upcoming class while there’s still seats available.
