RE: who all has tooken there hunter education course
I took mine just a few weeks ago.......I didn't have too, but i wanted too....
The instructor was intimidating, but an old softy with me, lol.....but he was a real jerk if you were slacking in any area.
He has to be that way though, it's not a game....
He thought he had to back me up on the skeet shooting, I kinda felt insulted, lol....so i showed him i didn't need his help, lol....i nailed em....
All in all it was a great experience....and now i can get my concealed weapons permit and hunt the refuge come duck season....
even if you're old andyou don't have to take it , like myself, i would suggest you takeit just because f the experience...
I'm even thinking about volunteering....
There was one sad note....hardly any kids there, most of them were adults....we have to get them kids out there.

Never took one and I am grandfathered in all the places I hunt that require one. If i need one for a new hunt I will take the course.

My son and I will take one together the first weekend in August. I don't need one unless I want to hunt out of state. He falls in that age bracket that requires it. Now I'm 48 and he'll be 20 this fall. He's never deer hunted before in his life due to playing football in the fall since he was 5 years old. He's in college now starting his second year this fall. I look forward to him being able to go deer hunt with menow.
