Knowing hunt safely can be a life-perserving pursuit.
Hunting has been practiced since time immemorial and was a necessity for early civilization. It was also an important religious ritual for leisure societies. Since its wild beginnings, hunting has been curtailed to include standard etiquette and safety regulations. Policies on hunting vary state-by-state and country-by-country, so it is always better to know whether a hunting license is required in your area. Whether it is required or not, hunting safety is a valuable skill to possess, regardless of regulations.
Instructions
1. Choose a site online (see Resources) that will provide hunting safety services based on your needs. If you want to be awarded a hunting license, make sure the site you consider is authorized to give hunting licenses. It will most likely say on the site itself, but try a new source if it neglects to tell you.
2. Choose a curriculum to follow. Online sources will offer a variety of information about equipment, shooting, hunting ethics, general safety and survival. Some sites offer both online and classroom classes, but the classes may take place far from your home.
3. Contact your state or regional Department of Fish and Game to learn the details of what you need to do to get a hunting license or take hunting classes. Depending on your area, you may need to take an exam following the class and attend a class in person to demonstrate your knowledge if you want to be certified.
