INTRODUCING TODAY’S YOUTH TO THE GREAT OUTDOORS

The 2020 Hunter's Safety Class will again be held in April of 2020.  Stay tuned to this site for further details or call 906-643-6712.

The Straits Area Sportsmen's Club continued with its mission of introducing today’s youth to the outdoors by co-sponsoring DNR Hunter Safety training. Hunter education courses teach new hunters responsibility, ethics, firearm safety, wildlife conservation and wildlife identification, game care, survival and first aid.  

You need to successfully complete the class if you were born on or after Jan. 1, 1960, and will buy a hunting license in Michigan.  Many times other states may require that a Hunter show their card when purchasing their out of state license. 

• There is no minimum age requirement to take this online course.
• You do not have to be a resident of Michigan to take this online course.

This official training program is developed to meet the standards for Hunting safety education established by Michigan. Hunter Ed is the only safety course provider that develops print materials on behalf of government agencies responsible for Hunting laws and regulations.  

This is 4–6 hours, depending on the number of students attending and will include:

· a classroom session

· outdoor shooting

· blood trailing

· demonstrations of tree stand safety

· survival skills

Most of the classroom topics will pertain to Michigan-specific regulations and issues that are not covered in this online course. Be sure to have proper clothing for the outdoor sessions.

After attending and passing the Field Day portion of the Hunting education requirement, you will receive your Hunter Education Certificate.

SASC hold classes each spring with the field day being held in June.   Check back through out the year for the 2020 dates.
