About this Event:

This is a field day only class. There is no fee for the field day. Students will need to bring their certificate of completion of the online course to the class or pick up a book and bring the completed chapter review questions. The online course can be located on the Michigan DNR website under Education & Safety. If a student chooses to complete the home study course, a book may be picked up at the Bend of the River Conservation Club on February 12,2025 from 6:00pm-8:00pm. In order to take part in the field day, students will be required to present either the online certificate of completion or the completed chapter review questions from the book. Students 10 and under will need a parent or guardian present during the class. A parent or guardian is welcome to stay with their student during the class. Please do not register the parent or guardian for the class as this only eliminates the spot for other students. If the parent or guardian wishes to go through and receive credit for Hunter Education, feel free to sign up.

About the Program

Overview:

The main purpose of the hunter education field day course is to provide an alternative to the traditional course. This course is the same as the traditional hunter education course; however, the classroom portion is completed by either, online training or as a take home study format. 
In order to purchase a hunting license in Michigan, an individual born on or after January 1, 1960, is required to successfully complete an approved hunter education course. There are two different formats for successfully completing the field day course. Students must take either, the online course or the take home study, then complete the field day in order to earn a hunter safety certificate. Students choosing the online course followed by the field day must present a copy of their certificate of completion (voucher) of the online course at the start of the field day.  The certificate of completion (voucher) of the online course is valid for 12 months from the completion date.  The online course is fee based and can be taken at https://www.hunter-ed.com/michigan/. The second format is take home study. Students register for the field day and pick up the student manual, a minimum of one week prior to the field day. Take home study students must complete the chapter review questions and present them at the start of the field day. Michigan’s hunter education course is taught by a dedicated core of certified volunteer instructors and Michigan conservation officers.
