Women-only hunter education course now offered
8:54 a.m.
CONCORD, N.H. - Women interested in taking Hunter Education in the company of other women can now sign up for a special Women-only Hunter Education Course offered by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. The course involves self-paced online study and an online exam, plus a required Field Day from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 8 in Holderness. Participants must be 15 years of age or older. There are two required parts to the Women-only Hunter Education Course; you must successfully complete both to receive certification:
"This course is an opportunity for women to learn the New Hampshire hunting laws and regulations, firearms handling, how to use a map and compass, and how to enjoy hunting safely so they can challenge themselves in the great outdoors this fall," said Tom Flynn, who manages the NH Fish and Game Department's Owl Brook Hunter Education Center. Women are also welcome to participate in traditional Hunter Education courses and field days; the special course simply offers an alternative.
