State Lowers Minimum Age For At-Home Hunter Ed Study





The Pennsylvania Game Commission has lowered the minimum age from 17 to 14 required to take its independent study Hunter-Trapper Education Class. Initiated in 2006 for first-time hunters at least 17 years of age, the program, says Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe, "meets the needs of today's changing world by accommodating busy lifestyles." Though the program helps to remove the impediment of scheduling classroom time, students who complete the at-home portion of the course still must meet with a conservation officer to learn more about the Game and Wildlife Code, hunting ethics and landowner relations and then take the certification test. NSSF has long been a proponent of this independent study concept and has supported the International Hunter Education Association in developing a prototype program.
