About this Event:
This is a traditional hunter education course hosted by BHCSD#2 BOCES at the Big Horn Canyon National Recreation Area Taggart Visitor Center. This course does not contain live fire or a separate field day. Participants are taken through a firearm practical where they must demonstrate safe/basic firearm handling. This is done on-site as a part of the class.
Attending any single part of this class will not satisfy the requirements for a previously taken internet self study course. If you are needing to complete an internet completion course please return to the programs tab and register for the appropriate course. However, attending this course and passing the required exam in its entirety will fulfill the requirements to receive a hunter education certificate.

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
8. Behavior in class and during the field exercise
9. Attitude
I have read the above policy and understand the requirements for successful completion of the Wyoming Hunter Education Course.
