If you weren't aware, this course is good in all 50 states as well as most countries that require Hunter Education. This course will be a full day of classroom instruction along with some hands-on activities that will be conducted outside. Therefore, please dress appropriately for the weather, and bring lots of water. Bring a pencil and paper for notetaking. There is a 50-question test at the end, and it is open book, so you may use the notes that you take during the course. All other course materials will be provided. When you arrive at the RAS building, you may come in the front door, and the auditorium will be straight ahead. We will not be breaking for lunch, so please bring a sack lunch and snacks. We will take a short lunch break, but if we allowed everyone to leave the building, we would have to extend the course time. We will take a 10-minute break every hour. If you have any questions prior to class, you can email me at the provided address, or you can call or text at 325-710-6505. We look forward to helping you earn your certificate and become a safer, better outdoorsman!
