About this Event:

This is a traditional course, which means you must attend all four classes, and pass the final exam in order to receive your hunter education certificate. Please check your schedule before registering to make sure you can attend all the scheduled hours on all three days. There will be no makeup classes. Bring a pen or pencil to take notes; a # 2 pencil is required for the exam. If something comes up, and your are unable to attend all three sessions, please remove yourself from the registration so that waitlisted students may have the opportunity to join.

You may bring snacks, water, and a sack dinner for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. On Saturday we should be ending between 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. We may be doing some activities outside, so be sure to bring appropriate warm layers. Any students 12 and under should have a parent attending class as well (you do not need to sign up to take the class unless needed).

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.
