About this Event:

This dynamic, in-person Hunter Education Course welcomes students of all experience levels and is recommended for ages 10 and up. Taught by the Schoenwolf & Lundgren families, this engaging course emphasizes practical, hands-on learning in a friendly and supportive environment. You'll gain real-world experience using inert firearms while practicing essential hunting and safety techniques, including: safe firearm handling and hand-offs; loading/unloading practice; shooting positions, stances, and target acquisition; proper mounting and aiming techniques; vehicle, gate, and fence scenarios; mock bird hunting drills; inert bear spray practice; “What’s in My Pack” gear demos by the instructors; and much more! This is a TRADITIONAL, in-person course and is NOT for those who have already completed the Wyoming Online Hunter Ed Class. The cost of this class is $10 CASH per person, payable to the instructors the first evening, plus the $5 Event Manager fee collected by the processing company during registration. Students must attend all class sessions (there will be no make-up classes), demonstrate safe firearm handling, and pass a 50 question multiple choice test with 80% or better to receive their legal certificate. Students are welcome to bring snacks, drinks, and meals if desired. Bring a pen or pencil for taking notes. Students under 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Parents are encouraged to stay and join in the learning! (Adults only need to register if they want to earn a certificate.) For questions about this class you may contact the instructor at (307) 315-8258 or dcschoenwolf@gmail.com

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
