April 19, 2007
Contact: Leslie Vincino (352) 625-2804
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission’s Hunter Safety program is offering several hunter
education classes throughout the spring and summer in central
Florida.
Hunter safety certification is required for
anyone born on or after June 1, 1975 in order to purchase a
Florida hunting license. It’s a good idea for those who plan to
hunt next fall to take a class now, and not wait until the last
minute and risk not getting into a class later.
Unless otherwise indicated, to register for
classes call (352) 625-2804, or register online at
MyFWC.com/huntered/
and follow the links. May classes will be held at the locations
and times listed below.

To receive hunter safety certification, students must
successfully complete the course by attending all class
sessions, pass a written exam and participate on the firing
range. Class materials, guns and ammunition will be provided,
but participants must bring their own pen, pencil and paper to
take notes. Plan to arrive 30 minutes early to pick up class
paperwork and sign registration papers. Classes begin promptly
at times noted. The course covers survival, wildlife identification, hunting
laws, ethics, first aid and gun safety, and is required for
anyone born on or after June 1, 1975 in order to purchase a
Florida hunting license.
