Class Details: The Wildlife and Natural Resources Committee conducts the Hunter Education Class, which is held in the International Room on the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo grounds behind the Freeman Coliseum and Frost Bank Center. A cash payment of $15 will be collected before class starts. Checks will not be accepted. You are welcome to bring snacks or lunch since we do not take a lunch break. Drinks are provided. Parents are welcome to stay and are encouraged to do so for our younger learners. Finally, the room runs a little cold, so you may want to bring a jacket. If you have any questions, please contact Thom Griffith at 210-488-8781 or tdgriffith2@gmail.com. DIRECTIONS: From East Houston Street, enter through the Frost Bank Center WEST Gate, near the railroad tracks and North Onslow Street. YOU SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED FOR PARKING. “Hunter Safety” direction signs should guide you from there. After entering the gate, go straight and turn right in front of the Freeman Expo Hall. You will pass the back of the Freeman Coliseum and a Security Check Point on your right. Just past this, the International Room will be on your right, across from the Auction Barn. Look for the “Hunter Education” banner.
