We strongly advise obtaining a California Hunter Education manual
from the Department of Fish and Game prior to the class, thus enabling the
student to study the extensive information prior to the class.

March 5 The Hunter Education class is a requirement to purchase a hunting license in
this and many other states. Classes begin at 6 AM and run until 8:30 PM, and
may include live
fire, (responsible adult's signature required on the SCANTRON form on the day of
the class). A 100 question test is administered at the end of class, and certificates are given out
upon successful completion. There are a couple of short breaks during the day and a lunch
break of 45 minutes. Bring your own food and supplement from the snack bar. This is a marathon class, and while we are not legally able to dissuade younger
people, we do need to point out to parents that it is VERY HARD for many juveniles to maintain
the level of attention required to pass the test after a 14 hour period. Typically, 10% of the
students fail to pass the first time. This, however, is not necessarily a problem, since
there is only a
one-time fee and a student can come back and retake the test the following or subsequent
months. There is no requirement to sit through the entire class to retake the
test, however it never hurts to
do so. It is also advisable for parents to attend the class with a minor although that too
is not a requirement. Instructors are NRA, Dept of Fish & Game and Dept of Justice
certified. Jeff Banke, Instructor of the Year,
