The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is offering a free hunter safety course in Bay County.

People who have taken the Internet course and wish to complete the classroom portion must bring the online-completion report and attend only the Oct. 5 class from 6-10 p.m. and the Oct. 16 range day.

An adult must accompany children under the age of 16 at all times.  Students should bring a pencil and paper with them to take notes.
Successful completion of an approved hunter safety course is required for people born on or after June 1, 1975, before they can purchase a Florida hunting license.  The FWC course satisfies hunter safety training requirements for all other states and Canadian provinces.
