Bowhunting field day for Internet course in Jefferson County March 12, 2008 The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is sponsoring a bowhunting field day in Jefferson County on March 22 for serious archers who have taken the online portion of the course. The class runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Beau Turner Youth Conservation Center, 9194 S. Jefferson Highway in Monticello. “The purpose of this class is to provide advanced instruction to the bowhunter on such topics as the fundamentals of bowhunting, safety, hunting techniques, stalking, trailing and sportsmanship,” said David Crosariol, regional hunter safety officer. “Even though it is not required in Florida, completion of a bowhunting class is required in at least 14 other states before a hunter can purchase a bowhunting license.” Participants must have completed the online National Bowhunter Education Foundation (NBEF) course and bring the official NBEF Field Day Qualifier Voucher with them. In addition, participants should dress for hunting and bring their own archery equipment, including bows and arrows (field points or target points), pen or pencil and a packed lunch. People interested in attending this course can register online and obtain information about future bowhunting classes at MyFWC.com/huntered or call FWC's regional office in Panama City at 850-265-3676. |
