About this Event:
Wyoming Outdoorsmen are sponsoring a Traditional Hunter Safety Course that is open to the General Public. This class will be held at the Wyoming Game and Fish Cody Regional Office located on Tilden Drive just north of Cody. This Class will include the standard Hunter Safety Curriculum and students that attend all class sessions and receive a passing grade on the class exam will receive their “Wyoming Game and Fish Hunter Safety Certificate". This class is recommended for anyone ages 10 and older (kids under 10 years of age tend to struggle to comprehend the class materials) who need their Hunter Safety Certificate for this coming fall hunting season. The cost of the class is $10 per student and will be collected at the first class session. The class fee is waived for Members of Wyoming Outdoorsmen and their minor children. All class materials will be handed out at the first class session.

STUDENT AGREEMENT FORM
Graduates of this course are expected to demonstrate their knowledge of the material presented in class and in homework assignments on both verbal and written examinations. The demonstration of skill in safe gun handling is an important completion requirement. The student’s attitude toward the course of instruction and the acceptance of the principles of responsible hunter behavior weigh heavily in the pass/fail decision for each student.
Wyoming Hunter Education Law requires any person born on or after January 1, 1966, to successfully complete a hunter education course. The following policies and procedures have been outlined so you will fully understand the requirements for successfully completing the course.
Attendance at all sessions is required. Due to scheduling difficulties, make-up sessions will not be allowed. If you fail to attend any portion of the course your certification will be denied. Students are expected to be in their seats and ready for class at that time.
The following areas of concern will be used in evaluating each student for certification.
1. Class attendance
2. Prompt attendance at class sessions
3. Completion of homework assignments and worksheets
4. Participation in class activities and discussions
5. Scores on written quizzes
6. Score on the final examination
7. Performance on the firearms field course
