DNR offers hunter education classes
Comet staff report

In order to purchase a hunting license, anyone born after Dec. 31, 1986, must successfully complete a hunter education class offered by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Hunters certified in another state or Canada can also present a card or certificate and purchase an Indiana hunting license.

The DNR hunter education program teaches hunter responsibility and ethics, wildlife conservation and management, firearm safety, wildlife identification, game care, survival and first aid. Hunter education is not just for kids and not just for hunters. The program is for all Hoosiers who enjoy the outdoors and have an interest in conservation.

The course can be an excellent refresher for veteran hunters.

The DNR offers hunter education courses in counties throughout the state. The program takes approximately 10 hours to complete. For more information on classes in this area, visit the class website at www.dnr.IN.gov.
